    For some reason compressor just want actually start a project. It’s listed in to do jobs, but just stays on waiting with no progress. I have tried both importing a QT file and sending straight from the TL of FCP.

    I have also tried other files with the same results.

    I am selecting Best for 90Min SD DVD which is what I have always done

    The QT file plays fine so it’s not a file issue.

    Any ideas please?

    regards,

    Wayne

    Look in your User Library preferences folder for “com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist” and trash it.

    Hello,

    My compressor won’t make PAL files. I am using a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio Pro 4.

    Can you suggest a solution?

    All the best,

    Julian

    What file format are you trying to output to? If it’s a DVD format, then you don’t select the PAL/NTSC format until you take it to the next step in DVD studio Pro and set the DVD output format in preferences
