AND COMPRESSOR PROBLEM
I’m trying to export an 80 minute documentary using compressor. Settings
DVD Best Quality 90 and then 120 minutes. MPEG2 and then Dolby. But it says Time Remaining Unknown for a long time leading me to think that it’s not doing anything. I’m trying to make a DVD. Thanks -

Sorry the delay back to answer the question. The Compressor version is
2.0.1. I’ve also tried to make a quicktime movie but when I try to encode (import the assets) it fails. The project is 79 minutes long. The final cut version is 5.0.2. Thanks. -
So, do a quick test.
Set in and out points on the sequence to encode about ten seconds worth. Export your short sequence as a reference movie and drag that into Compressor and encode that. Does that encode? If so, reset your In/Out points to a longer clip of that sequence and try again.
How much rendering have you done? Try using the Render Manager

If you’re using anything earlier than the universal version, which I think is 2.2, don’t use “Best” quality. For a 79 minute piece, you should be fine with Single-pass VBR or even CBR. Two-pass VBR will take forever, and yield poor results.
