Compressor doesn't finish

I export a QT reference file like usual and then have Compressor convert it to whatever (FLV, Mp4, etc) and now it gets pretty much all the way done and just hangs there. It has been like this for about a month now.
The QT reference plays fine so no problem there.
It almost finishes and then doesn't advance and anymore and I cannot stop it. I have reset the background processes and that fixes the problem of canceling but no matter what format I try to convert to in Compressor it doesn't finish.
I can export directly from Final Cut Pro without a problem. The thing is I want to use Compressor...anyone know why this is?

Does clearing the associated QMaster cache help at all? To get there, type /var/spool/QMaster once you go to Go > Go to Folder in the Finder.
Or does this happen for only one particular QT reference movie? If that's the case, then Compressor/QMaster might simply not be fond the the referenced render or media files (what can I say, it's a cranky problem with poor social skills.) Sometimes, re-rendering the troublesome section(s) - or exporting self-contained - fixes those issues.

    trying to export video in mpeg 2 but compressor doesn't come up in the export drop down window. Any ideas?

    Export the file using "Current Settings" and enable "self contained".
    Once the export is complete, open up Compressor, drop in your file, select the desired output settings and turn Compressor loose. If you have set up a Quick Cluster and have a multi core Mac, Compressor will use all available cores. It will be a faster process.

  • ITunes 10.5 sync doesn't finish iPhone 4S 5.0.1

    When syncing my iPhone 4S 16GB 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 using a Macbook Pro 10.7.2 it freezes at the last step 7 of 7. I had the same problem with iOs 5.0 and the update didn't change a thing. iTunes is still accesible, but it doesn't finish the sync. All I can do is deconnect the iPhone in the Devices of iTunes, but it give a warning that it is still syncing. When I check the iPhone and iTunes, everything seems to be ok and purchases and apps are either downloaded on the iPhone or iTunes.On the iPhone there is still the little wheel turning to indicate the sync and in iTunes there is the same little wheel next to the iPhone in Devices. Any idea anybody??

    I'm experiencing this problem for the first time - frustratingly, while upgrading to a "new" (hand-me-down) 32GB 4G - on OSX 10.6.8. This phone has the iOS 5.0.1 update installed, I'm trying to restore my old phone's data from backup. All the data appears to be there up to mid-October (from looking at text messages), but the sync wasn't finishing. I hit "cancel," and now the cancel isn't finishing. I'm gonna leave it overnight, but I'm not expecting it to finish.

  • Battery doesn't finish

    i reported a problem earlier in a previous post about my defective battery, as i said, it used to drain by itself after shutting down, and it only lasts maybe 45mins max.
    Well, the problem now is the battery doesn't seem to finish, i've been using it for days now, and it stays 100%. Nothing much happened since my previous problem, except, i dropped the laptop once when it was in its protective bag, and the case got dented a little bit in the corner, the other thing is i travelled to a very cold country.
    I am not upset that the battery doesn't finish, but why doesn't everything have to be weird, it either drains, or doesn't finish, can we like find a medium?

    Go to an Apple Store and ask to have your battery tested.

  • Hp5530 doesn't finish print job

    I have two computers, a win7 laptop and a win8.1 desktop. My 5530 is set up as a wifi printer and is next to my Linksys wireless router.  Both printers wil print to the printer but often the print job doesn't finish -  stopping in the middle of a page.  The problem seems to be evolving in that for a few months the problem only showed up when printing from the win 8.1 computer.  Now it happens with both computers, more and more often.  I've reinstalled the drivers on both computers with no change in outcome.  Please help.

    Hello domeguy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some issues with the Wireless connection.
    I do have a few suggestions that we can try in the attempt to resolve this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I also suggest that you have the router more than 4' from the printer and less than 20'.  This will be the range that you need to have the printer from the router to ensure a solid connection.  If the Printer less than 4' from the router and will not be detected.
    I have another suggestion. Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor on both computers.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
    The last link I have for you deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Thanks for your time.
    Cheers,

  • Lion Disk Utility doesn't finish erase

    Since installing Lion (clean install) disk utility doesn’t finish erasing or partitioning external disks. I used the disk utility from the install drive to erase the internal drive before installing Lion, this worked fine, but ever since it failed to erase any of my external drives. It starts of as normal but the progress bar stops half way and just never finish. Disk Utility does respond.
    I tried different format options, repair and verify but none of the processes finish.
    I went back to the install drive that I used to erase the internal drive before Lion install and it also didn’t want to finish.
    I copied the old disk utility from Snow Leopard to my desktop, it opens with a warning, but gives the same outcome.
    Any advice?

    I'm having the same problem on my late 2010 Air with Lion installed over Snow Leopard.
    I've tried several usb memory drives and several external harddrives...all the same problem with the progress bar getting stuck halfway. wether I select 'partition' or 'erase'.
    the 'genius' at the mac store told me that he advises a clean install of Lion. I did...or I thought I did but all my files were still in place and the problem was still there. Guess I will have to wipe the drive first.
    Also, unable to repair permissions on the MAC drive.
    But it is remarkable how few people seem to experience this problem thus far. A google search hardly returns any results.

  • Photocast doesn't finish uploading

    I have a photocast that is a smart album. The first time I publish it, everything goes well. When I try to update the album, it goes through everything until the progress circle is almost finished, and then it doesn't finish.
    I've looked to see if it is still uploading anything, but there is no upload activity on my computer at that point. My current solution is to unpublish and republish the photocast each time, but I'd rather find a better solution.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is it because it is a smart album?
    Sky

    That memory should suffice indeed.
    If you are lucky, the print products store can still print your original book from the copy on their server. they keep the uploaded file for reference for a month or so.
    You have screened all pages of the book, if there are no photos missing? And you have reentered your billing information, not just checked it?
    The system status for the print Products is shown as o.k. at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    Check, if you accidentally have turned on restrictions in the settings:
    Settings>General>Restrictions
    Check the region settings for the iPad, if the country is set to the country of the delivery address for the book.
    Trouble shoot the iPad:
    Reset the iPad  by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • Mkinitcpio command doesn't finish

    Just did a pacman there and the /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.23-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img command
    doesn't finish: it takes forever to do the :: Parsing hook [autodetect] part. So I killed pacman and re-did pacman -Syu.
    It finished this time. And I tried the command again on its own - the problem is still there.
    anybody else seen this? I'm afaid to do a reboot now.....

    My upgrade to mkinitcpio 0.5.17-1 completed without a hitch.  Now the system hangs when I reboot.  Booting the fallback image works ok.
    I suspect there is something in my /etc/rc.conf that the new mkinitcpio doesn't like.  I haven't figured out what yet.
    UPDATE:  When I removed "@alsa" from the DAEMONS= line of my /etc/rc.conf file, the machine boots the default image just fine.  The funny thing is sound still works even without the alsa daemon.
    I hope this steers you in a useful direction.

  • Wait activity doesn't finish

    I have dployed a BPEL process with a Wait activity that must wait 30 seconds. But after the 30 seconds has passed, the wait activity doesn't finish. Can anyone say me what's the problem? Thank You!!

    this is the error I have in my domain.log (it's in spanish but i will try to translate):
    <2006-10-20 13:03:22,718> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Recovery still not possible after 550 attempts due to ORABPEL-11001

    El valor especificado para el parámetro de activación de directorio (Físico/Lógico) de entrada tiene un valor "/temp/" no válido.
    Asegúrese de que se cumplen las siguientes condiciones para el directorio de entrada:

    2) Se puede leer (permisos de lectura de archivo). y
    3) Si el parámetro de activación "DeleteFile" está definido en "true", el directorio también debe tener otorgados permisos de escritura. y
    4) Si se utiliza un nombre lógico, asegúrese de que la correspondencia de nombre lógico<->directorio físico está especificada correctamente en el descriptor de despliegue.

    The Input folder is not valid.
    The specified value for the (phisycal/virtual) directory activation input parameter has a an invalid "/temp/" value.
    How do I identify the process that is generating this problem? Because the process I deployed doesn't use file adapters but maybe it can be generated by one of the process called by the one I deployed and that I built previously using the "obant" comand.
    Thanx!!

  • Deep freeze's reboot frozen command doesn't  finishes

    Whenever i send a reboot frozen command from the ARD on the server, it doesn't finishes. The Reboot command is below.
    osascript <<EndOfMyScript
    tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "loginwindow"
    key code 125
    delay .25
    keystroke return
    delay 1
    keystroke "0000"
    keystroke return
    end tell
    end tell
    delay 4
    EndOfMyScript
    DFXPSWD="0000" /Library/Application\ Support/Faronics/Deep\ Freeze/deepfreeze -u "VantageAdmin" -p bootFrozen
    reboot
    This execute correctly but it seems like the ARD doesn't recognise that it is done, so it continue running untill manually cancel.
    I mean it execute correctly but the command remains in the active task on ARD. What can i do to make this execute and disappear from the active task to history?

    Well one option is to break it up into two tasks.
    task 1, send unix commands (without the reboot at the end)
    task 2, user ard reboot command
    Another option would be to que up the command on the client.
    send unti command as user root
    launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist
    echo "reboot" | at now+1
    the catch is that queing up a command, is that you don't know if the command did sucesfully triggure.
    I've never tried to use at with deep freeze, so it would be a good idea to test the results before mass deploying.
    the other thing is it can create 'mail'.

  • H264.mov , Flash 9 - QT pro works, Compressor Doesn't???

    Creating h.264 movies with QT Pro. Change extension, to .flv, they play fine in Flash 9 player. Use Compressor to make similar movie, change extension to .flv, it doesn't work.
    I need to batch hundreds of movies as we update our websites, so repeatable, preset driven work flow is a must. Any idea why QT Pro works and Compressor doesn't?
    Thank in advance for your time.
    Frank

    You need a mpeg4 compresson that's is set for h.264. The mpeg4 in Compressor doesn't have the setting. Here read this: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8779452#8779452

  • Compressor doesn't open and show windows properly

    Haven't used Compressor for a while and when I open it I don't get the windows, just the bar at the top. Choosing a windows layout doesn't work and although you can switch on the inspector, settings/destination and history windows I can't display the window that you drag the files, settings and destinations into. I've tried re-installing, no good. All other FCS programs work fine, before and after re-install, anyone know what's going on?

    Tried all the above suggestions, just had to properly uninstall FCS with FCS Remover then re-install. Window display is fine now but I'm not sure if it's actually doing anything, submit a job but nothing seems to be produced ...looking into that.
