  qmaster compressor does not work in Snow Leopard: Help~

  Posted by Yusei Watanabe on December 10, 2009 at 4:28 am

  Hi,

  I couldnt find the answer anywhere so Im hoping to get some help.

  I’ve recently done a clean installation of SnowLeopard and FCS3, updated all the files and setup qmaster to run compressor with multi-core. There was no problem setting it up, and compressor recognized my cluster but when I hit submit, it does not seem to be running all the cores like it used to, as shown by the activity monitor.

  I have used multicore compression for a long time, reliably, and this is the first time Im not getting it to run. I have used compressor repair as well but no dice. FYI I would export files out as a QT first before submitting to Compressor for a 2nd-pass for further compression. I have a few workstations and all of them have the same problem. In short, Ive been doing this for ages so my “old” way of doing it worked.

  With this new iteration, has the workflow changed? Is there a bug? What can I do? Thanks in advance for the help~

  Regards,

  When I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and FCS 3 the same thing happened to me but it was user error. I’m not sure, but I think Apple may have switched the order of the Services list, so when I clicked on “Options for selected service” it was actually changing the instances on “Rendering” for Shake and not for Compressor, so nothing happened. When I highlighted Compressor, changed the instances appropriate for my machine, Compressor started flying on all cores. I also have Managed checked. So just double check you have Compressor highlighted when selecting the number of instances.
