Compressor error “0” woes
Hi all
This is about Apple Compressor — but it probably affects anyone who uses FCP and outputs to DVD — so here goes:
OK — here’s what I’ve got: brand spankin new G5 dual core 2.3. — totally virgin top to bottom. Updated all the way. Brand new install of Final Cut Studio crossgrade — the latest and greatest — also updated all the way. Everything here is squeaky clean — no stray code floating around anywhere from any previous applications.
SO — the problem is the (I have discovered) dirty little Apple secret that Compressor 2.1.whatever does not like dual processor machines — every time I try to encode something to mpeg2 it goes a while and then gives me the “quicktime error 0” message.
I’ve done quite a bit of digging around in these message boards and have only found some older posts claiming that a certain Apple download patch will allow you to shut off one processor — and then Compressor will work properly. I tried that and no go.
Is this still the latest attempt at a solution? Those posts were several months old — hard to believe Apple hasn’t addressed the issue properly since then. Am I missing something?? Has this problem been corrected — and maybe it’s some other conlict I’m having?
Only other thing on my system at this time is a couple of Lacie big disk extremes — but they don’t “seem” to be creating any disturbance in the Compressor force.
What gives??
Steve
PS — this thread has been kicking around the Apple boards for a few days — everyone is baffled. This problem is very common but so far nobody has the magic bullet for it.

Tried reinstalling QuickTime? Best to trash it first. Trash the receipts in the system library and the app itself, then reinstall. you can download the module from Apple’s support site.
Also install problems are fixed for free at Apple. 1-800-myapple I’d call them for sure.
