Compressor 2 problems?
First time I tried a batch in C2 it seemed really slow, and some of the encodes failed. Is something buggy in there?

I find that exporting to Coompressor straight from FCP is slower than exporting a reference movie & running that resulting file through Compressor.
I have frequent problems with Compressor – here’s a reply I made recently to another post in this forum:
I see no one responded & I have no advice except to say keep retrying the batch – sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
This is a bug that’s been driving me nuts this year. In previous versions of Compressor, I NEVER had failed batches, but ever since the new version I have more failures than successes with it. It’s incredibly hard to run a studio with a program as flaky as Compressor has become! I’ve tried a number of different things – restarting, force rendering in the FCP timeline, re-exporting fresh movies for compression, exporting straight from FCP, self-contained movies, reference movies, running compressor with no other apps open, etc. Everytime I think I’ve found the secret, it just goes and fails on something else.
I really wish this topic was discussed more ’cause I know I’m not the only one that is frustrated by it!

I`m also finding problems with C2. Some presets work one day and then don`t. Am getting picture pull throughout the encode. Same footage encodes perfectly from FCP timeline via QT conversion.
