I can't seem to encode video files anymore.

Question

My friend and I are creating a YouTube series. I do all the editing. Whenever I render something in Final Cut Pro X (ver.10.1.2 [I don't want to upgrade]) and I save it, it saves in a big file. I usually right click the video in finder and select "Encode selected video files". It opens a window with settings on it, I choose my settings, and it starts to encode. The encoding stopped, and a window appeared with this text in it;
PasteBin link, The text is too long. --> http://pastebin.com/55KsA6Dx
The same thing happens when I encode it in any other option.
I can't download compressor because I am broke, and I have no wifi (I am using hotspot)
Am I doing something wrong?
What do I do?
Please respond as soon as possible.

Hi JMEgaming,
If you are importing your video clips in to Final Cut Pro X, and editing in Final Cut Pro X, why would you try to encode them using the Finder app?  You can adjust the size of the Master File to reduce file size.  You can publish directly to YouTube as well, but you need to be connected to a wired network (ethernet) or wireless network for any of this to work well.
Final Cut Pro X: Sharing projects overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12691
Final Cut Pro provides a variety of destinations, or preconfigured export settings, that you can use to output your project or clip. For example, you can export a project or clip as a QuickTime movie, export it for viewing on Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad, publish it to websites such as Facebook and YouTube, or burn it to a disc. You can also save a frame from your movie or export an image sequence. Each of these options uses a different destination. 
When you first open Final Cut Pro, a default set of destinations appears in the Share submenu of the File menu and in the Share pop-up menu. 
Details about each destination in the default set are listed in the table below. 
Destination
Use to
DVD
Burn your project to a standard-definition (SD) DVD.
Master File (default)
Export your project as a QuickTime movie file.
Apple Devices 720p
Export files for iPhone and iPod. 
Apple Devices 1080p
Export files for iPad. 
Facebook
YouTube
Vimeo
Publish your project to your account on any of these websites.
You can easily add destinations or replace the default set of destinations with your own customized destinations. For example, if you want to save a frame from your movie as a Photoshop file, you need to add the Save Current Frame destination to your set and specify that the destination export a Photoshop file. You create and modify destinations in the Destinations pane of Final Cut Pro preferences. 
You can also create a bundle of destinations to export several types of output at once. For more information, see Create and modify share destinations. 
The default destination is Master File. You can quickly share to that destination by pressing Command-E. To change which destination is the default (and will be activated by that keyboard shortcut), see Create and modify share destinations.
