September 6, 2010 at 8:53 pmAre you hitting SAVE AS or something else other than clicking on the SUBMIT button?

September 6, 2010 at 9:06 pmThanks, Shane for quick response!
Not doing anything differently than I’ve ever done.
Loading the job window in compressor with destination to desktop, best 90 minute video encoding from the preset list….. hit submit.the fcp timelline is defined by in and out. nothing different or special.
also… yesterday I used compressor to encode some H.264 quick time clips for a client’s website. no problem.
tnx again,

September 6, 2010 at 9:42 pmCant see the whole file name, but remove any ‘questionable’ characters (punctuation, etc.).
Compressor is very UNIX under the hood.

Made two encodes after trashing compressor prefs with the digigorilla and no change in results.
Trashed them again, restarted the computer, tried a short encode to test and still got the droplet, an example of which is attached above.any suggestions???
thanks,
