FCP Export to Compressor trouble
This is my first time doing this “export using compressor” from my fcp timeline. Once I did this and set my settings for mpeg2 60min high quality 2 pass (I used the preset) I clicked on the submit button. I received an error: (Cannot submit batch. Unable to connect to a background processor.)
What does this mean?I am using a OS X 10.4.6 PowerPC G4 laptop with a 1.67 GHz processor. FCP version is 4.5 and Compressor version is 1.2.1.
Any help is greatly appreceiated and many thanks in advance!!

I don’t know if this will help or not, but I found this on a forum where other people were having the same problem:
“One of my coworkers just had the same problem. he has qmaster 2.0 and compressor 2.0.
What we eventually figured out our problem to be was that qmaster didn’t even start up at start up. in the system log it showed it under a ‘disabled startup item’
looking in the apple info database i found this
https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300962
down at the bottom it has now to enable a previously disabled startup item
_________________
I disabled a startup item, but now I want to use itIf you disabled a startup item but you’re now certain that it’s associated with a trusted application, you can install the application again. Or, if you’re an advanced user (and an administrator) who’s familiar with Terminal, you can use the following steps instead of reinstalling the application (we’re using “TrustedApp” as our example application; please substitute it with your trusted application’s name):
1. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).
2. Type the following line, then press Return:cd /Library/StartupItems/TrustedApp.app/
3. Type the following line, then press Return:
sudo rm .disabled
4. From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
5. When you see the alert about the startup item you want to use, click Fix.
6. Click Restart in the second alert. After your computer restarts, the item should work as expected.
_________________________the moral of the story is that a tiny invisible file called .disabled prevents qmaster from loading. delete that and it allowed us to get back to workin’
unfourtunately you can’t delete (or even see) that file without the terminal.”HTH.

There are lots of posts about this issue. Here’s another idea if the above doesn’t work.
