  • Unable to stop or delete job from Batch Monitor

    Posted by Sue Lawson on May 17, 2008 at 12:45 am

    Hello all.

    I have a job that was submitted to Compressor (version 3.03)… standard settings for DVD Best Quality 120 minutes setting (MPEG-2 5.0 Mbps 2-pass). The job was exported from FCP as a (non-self-contained) reference movie.

    When first submitted, Batch Monitor estimated the job at somewhere between 3-4 hours… when I returned after 4 hours to check, the time had actually increased significantly. This was the only application open on the system.

    I’ve tried canceling the job in Batch Monitor; however, it will not cancel… will not delete! I’ve even tried shutting down my system totally and restarting the computer. If I open Batch Capture, nothing is there (good); however if I re-submit a job (say the a version of the same project, only this time exported from FCP as a self-contained movie), the old job then appears and (of course) the estimated time just keeps increasing.

    Help?

    Hi Sue,
    My system is quite similar than yours, and I’m having the same funny issue.
    Don’t look in the Batch monitor. Open Compressor and delete everything that you have in the “History” window. Its works.

    Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
    G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
    PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
    JVC DTV-17″
    SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
    ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
