Reinstalled Compressor, where's Batch Monitor?

Good Morning, I just finished reinstalling FCP Studio, and was wondering where batch monitor is located, or where can i downloaded from. I have not yet updated (still runnning Compressor 2.0) I have read that it comes with Compressor and Apple Qmaster, can anyone help me find this?
thanks for your time.

Batch Monitor is located in your Utilities folder (within the Applications folder).
Is this FC Studio with FInal Cut Pro 5.1?
DId you install the the full FC suite, all the applications?
If you upgraded from a previous version of FC Pro with an earlier install of Compressor you should read this:
• Compressor 1.x settings do not work with Compressor 2

Compressor, Qmaster and Batch Monitor

Hi,
Whenever i use any of these apps they constantly come up with the
'Do you want the application 'xxx' to accept incoming newtork connections' window.
How can i make this stop? No matter what i click it won't go away it just
keeps coming back.
Thanks

System Preferences > Security > Firewall. How is your Firewall set up?
I have "Set access for specific services and applicaions" as the active choice.
I gave Qmaster etc permission to use the network and haven't seen those warnings since.
While other, legitimate applications will also ask if they can connect, you should be cautious if somthing you don't recognize asks for permission.

Deleted batch monitor accidently, do I need to re-install compressor to get it back?

Someone moved my batch monitor application to the desktop and didn't tell me. I saw it, thought it was just a shortcut, and chucked it in the trash and emptied it. Now, I've got no batch monitor. Do i need to re-install compressor to get batch monitor back? I've tried putting the install disk in and trying to re-install just batch monitor but theres no option for that in the install. Anyone know?

YES... Easiest way is to remove Compressor/Qmaster first. Use this free program for removal:

Reinstall Compreesor and Qmaster from you install disk.

Multiple Compressor/Qmaster problems...clusters and batch monitor launch

Hi All,
I am continuing to have problems with Compressor and Qmaster. My original problem was that I was trying to create clusters to speed up my workflow. My computer is the only computer in the network. The issue came up when I created a cluster and it would work fine if I dragged in a QT from outside FCP to process in compressor, but if I tried to export a QT from FCP to compressor it would fail. Yesterday as I was about to leave work I was trying to export stuff through compressor and the batch monitor wouldn't launch. Sometimes I could get it to, but the QT it was exporting would disappear once it was processed.
I've deleted the compressor/FCP prefs and I also tried reinstalling compressor/qmaster. I trashed all the files I was supposed to and it couldn't get rid of all of them because it said they were still in use. AHHH!!!! I'm getting a little frustrated. I called apple and in so many words, they said, "Well, that's what happens with Studio 2. Try reinstalling it."
Help! I'm on FCP studio 2.

As mentioned in other threads, virtual clusters are very tricky to setup properly and, unless you're doing a lot of H.264 encoding there's almost no benefit in doing it.
I highly suggest that you (and anyone struggling with VC's) pick up a copy of "Compressor 3 Quick Reference Guide, Brian Gary" and get a solid understanding of the environment VC's create - and what they're really good for.

Going to Compressor from FCEHD - file won't show up in Batch Monitor

Hello all: I am trying to export to Compressor from FCEHD, I am using compressor that came with DVD Studio Pro 2. On my iMac G5 flat panel it will not work because of the PCI card, so I found a work around on the discussion boards and it said to hit escape and go into compressor since I needed an AGP card.
Well I do that but the file is not in the compressor. The Batch Monitor is empty. How do I get the file into the batch monitor? What kind of file goes to the compressor normally? Is it just an FCE file? I have a lab full of computers doing the same thing.
I hope there is a fix, thanks for your time.

Hi:
I don't have FCE but most probably this FCP workflow works:
You can export your timeline as QuickTime Movie, current settings (self contained if you have disk space!) and drag and drop that movi into Compressor.
Hope it helps!
Alberto

Batch Monitor Wont cancel item :(

I had a file that I wanted to compress from Motion, so I saved it to my desktop and put it through Compressor. I checked it in Batch monitor as it didn't seen to be doing anything also I spotted that I wanted one more filter on the footage, so I cancelled the file in batch monitor and trashed the desktop original.
My problem is now everytime I go back into batch monitor after submitting a new file in compressor, the canned file is still there trying to cancel and it wont let me get anything else done.
Please advise if anyone out there can help, as im going out of my mind trying to sort it out - my last resort is to do a clean install and I really dont want to do that

Cannot cancel a job in Batch Monitor

I sumbitted a Compressor 3 job, a 10-sec Motion project that I wanted to encode in Flash using the On2 plugin (I also have Flash 8 installed). This kind of job was routine with Compressor 2 and took very little time.
With Compressor 3, things look weird. I submitted the job and almost 25 minutes later it was still sitting in the job list of the Batch Monitor, its progress bar empty, no processor activity reported. I decided to cancel this job but was not successful. I quit Batch Monitor, trashed permissions of both Compressor 3 and Batch Monitor, deleted the Motion project that was the source of the encode, re-installed Compressor 3 - nothing helps.
Now whenever I submit a new job it lands in the queue which is being halted by the old indestructible job. This defective job does not progress and I cannot cancel it. If I Reset Background Processing, this job comes back as a new job and sits there ticking off new time. The log follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<services>
</services>
If anyone can tell me how to get rid of this job without erasing the hard drive, I will be very grateful.

Sounds similar to the problem I described in this thread.
This is how I deleted the entire queue when I couldn't cancel in Batch Monitor:
1) In the Finder, select the menu item Go->Go to Folder...
2) Enter /var/spool/qmaster
3) Trash the folder(s) that you see in that folder
4) In Compressor, select the menu item Compressor->Reset Background Processing...

I found this thanks George

Compressor Batch - will NOT open batch monitor

i had to reinstall my friends FCP/Compressor/DVDSP (he didn't want the other stuff)
but now when we try to export a file from compressor to a dvd file such as dolby audio
we get an error saying "unable to connect to background process"
any ideas? maybe we need to install something else?
i did notice (at least i think) batch monitor was in the applications folder and now its in utilities
maybe thats the issue?
any ideas i can give him so we can continue to work on some stuff
thanks

Batch Monitor is meant to be in Utilities, so that is fine.
Try these steps (I assume you are using Compressor 3):

Batch Monitor and Compressor do nothing when I submit...

Hey, guys,
I've re-install the whole OS and Final Cut Studio 2,
I use Compressor to encode my video clip,
after setup the format and the destination,
I click the "submit" Button, the batch job send to Batch Monitor,
but Compressor and Batch Monitor do nothing, the status bar didn't run.
Compressor's CPU usage is only about 0.x %.
Any body have the same problem?
How to solve this problem?

hi Thomas!
I have norton 2005 and turned it off when I downloaded itunes and I get the same result. quicktime will open for me however.
NIS 2005 is the usual suspect with "symptomless launch suppression".
first try:
b noir, "itunes wont open" #6, 02:11pm Oct 3, 2005 CDT
... but if no joy with that, try:
Lorraine M, "NIS/i-tunes problem rectified" #2, 01:51am Oct 17, 2005 CDT
keep us posted.
love, b

Compressor 4 files not showing up in Batch Monitor

Appartenly Batch monitor doesn't work with compressor 4. Using a droplet and I can't monitor the progress. Any thoughts?

Batch Monitor got replaced by "Share Monitor".
Two ways to start monitoring:
1. check the "Automatically launch Share Monitor" in Compressor 4's Preferences
2. Nagiate intoi the Compressor 4 Package and there to /Contents/PlugIns/Compressor/CompressorKit.bundle/Contents/EmbeddedApps and start Share Monitor from there
Either way I recommend to stick it to the Dock once you've opened Share Monitor successfully.

Batch Monitor Does Not Show Compressor Jobs

On one of my systems, Batch Monitor is not showing current compressor jobs, even though the jobs are running in the background -- and running and completing successfully. On the other systems, all jobs are shown in Batch Monitor as they are being compressed.
All processing is done on the local machine (no clusters). All jobs are submitted using the Compressor application....the jobs are basically conversions from one codec of QuickTime to another.
I saw a post regarding this issue, but it didn't appear to be resolved. Any suggestions?
G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.6)

So...guess what I learned?
How many cables do you have plugged into your monitor? The set came with a white and blue, and I plugged both in. Apparently, this causes the issue as the two cables are intended to provide dual screens.
Unplug the blue cable from both the computer and the monitor, and then press the "Windows" button with the letter p at the same time. Make sure "Computer only" is selected from the pop-up window, and press enter. This, according to an HP support tech, should fix the problem.
The instructions should make it more clear that both cables are not to be plugged in to a single monitor, but this may also be common sense to people who have experience with dual monitors.
I have not yet left my computer unattended to see if this fixes the problem, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Batch monitor with Compressor 3 does not say how long compression will take?

It seems to me that Batch Monitor no longer says how long compression will take.
Am I missing something?

I thought I had Compressor 4, but it's 3.

Submited Jobs not showing up in Batch monitor

I just got done with a reinstall of compressor and Qmaster with some positive results. I can now start a quickcluster just fine, and have it show up in compressor and submit to it. When i click the submit button, The batch doesn't show up in batch monitor. Even when i try submitting it "My Computer" it still fails to show up in batch monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?

Batch monitor was set to list completed jobs. I'm an idiot.

I can't reinstall Compressor!

Okay, I'm having the same problem as everyone else....can't find background process,etc.
So I deleted all that I was supposed to...I've got FCS1 w/ Compressor 2. I put the DVD studio disc in to reinstall Apple Qmaster and Compressor. When I get to the screen on which apps to install I can deselect DVD studio and I can toggle on Apple Q....but for some reason I can not select to install Compressor.
Compressor is grayed out and it won't let me check it! Is there something that I didn't delete that is causing this? I have had and used compressor for that past 2 years...now what? I recently installed Leopard...if I were to reinstall Tiger would that help or fix this problem? And would I just put the install discs for Tiger to get rid of Leopard?
Am I the only one that is having this problem? Along w/ the many other problems.

I would suggest downloading AppZapper for a clean uninstall. After that, you don't start with the DVD Studio Pro disc. Start with the Final Cut disc. That will give you the full menu of the things to install.
I too have FCS1 and have done everything I can to get this to work per all the instructions out there, but it still won't. I can't even get Batch Monitor to reinstall.

Batch Monitor troubles - no progress

I'd like to export a project from final cut pro (6.0.4) with compressor (3.0.4), as I did about 50 times before. Compressor opens, I choose my settings and click "send". Batch Monitor opens and that's it. No progress in Batch Monitor, no encoding, no failure code, nothing.
In the information-box I find:
pid="261" what="service-request" req-id="06B72FBC-BBB5-4F63-B985-6C4CA034BFF2:1" msg="Error: unrecognized request."></mrk>
What's wrong? If possible I'd like to avoid to reinstall compressor.
I already deleted the prefs for compressor and batch Monitor, I repaired disk permissions and restarted.
Exporting the movie with quicktime works fine, exporting audio only works fine, too.
What's wrong with Batch Monitor? Any idea someone?
Thx, Wolfgang

Sounds like Qmaster has missing assets.
Qmaster is what controls batch monitors, batch lists.
You will need to reinstall Qmaster again.

How to restart paused Task in Batch Monitor

Hi All,
So I've submitted a bunch of stuff from Compressor.
Batch monitor is chugging away but there's no way it's gonna finish before
I need to leave and take my laptop.
So I figured I could just pause the task.
Shut down.
Remove the drive. Go home. Come back the next day and restart the process again.....continuing from where I left off.
Is this not possible?
thanks
Kerry

i have the same problem as everyone,
tried everything and it still won't resume.
anyone got anything usefull figured out ?
how many user are left hanging like that ?
Edit : it worked again all by itself,
just have to keep trying i guess,
or maybe it needs time to re-calculate the download resume ?
no idea, anyways i'm glad it worked again
good luck for anyone still stuck on this.
