Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Compressor hangup

    Has anyone had this problem? I start compressing a QuickTime in compressor, and it gets almost to the end, about 3 seconds left, and then it just hangs there… and hangs there… then the counter starts going up. I try to hit cancel and nothing happens. It says “Cancelling…” but it never cancels. I have to go into Activity Monitor, force quit some locked up processes and reboot. Only then does it go away. But it keeps happening. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Thanks! That definitely helped with the stuff that just wouldn’t go away, but now there’s a new problem. I’m just now trying to compress an MPEG-2 for a DVD using the QMaster (I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with the 2 x 2.93 Quad-Core Xeons) and it was going gangbusters at first, but now the cluster will disappear, it will look like it’s still compressing in the Activity monitor, but if the cluster reappears it looks like it’s not doing anything at all.

    Any way to fix this?
