October 16, 2009 at 3:56 pmWell, I cant find var/spool/Qmaster on my Mac and I used teh Compressor repair and sit still did not work. I have a batch that I started this morning that started working fine, then crashed. Since then, it wont run. It just sits there saying “unknown time remaining”. The bar doesn’t move or anything.

February 8, 2010 at 12:53 pm[ Here’s a solution I found on the Apple support site…and it works.
1. In Finder select go, go to folder
2. Enter: var/spool/qmaster
3. This will find a folder (oddly named with numeral & text). Trash the folders you see INside this folder (mine were called Shared & Jobs
4. In compressor, select the menu item Compressor/reset Background Processing.John.]
This worked for me, plus I restart the computer afterwards. Running a Quadcore MacPro 2.66 Ghz. With FCP 7.1 and Compressor 3.5.1 (which I think caused the problem…)

February 8, 2010 at 2:18 pmIm Running SL 10.6.2 with FCS 6, and that folder could not be found. I had a fix for this before, but it came back. I even tried the Compressor repair tool, but that didnt work either.
