Are you sure Output Device is not set to Hard Drive in Settings? If it is set to Optical, you shouldn’t get a save message.

Would it be practical to make a bootable disk with 10.9 installed on a spare drive, download 10.1 and so your retiming in that environment?

You’ll need to do this in three steps:1) export a self contained movie; 2) set up Compressor for distributed processing by defining your “group: in Preferences; 3) Bring your movie into Compressor as a source file for the job and submit.

I don’t do a lot of Blu Ray, but when I do, I use 264. Although it is not a particularly quick process, I would expect a 90 minute video to take no more than 3-4 hours – certainly not 400. I’ve never used MPEG-2 for Blu Ray. Unless there is a specific requirement for m2v, why not try an h.264 test of a short section of your movie to compare processing times?

My approach was to continue to use FCS 3 on 10.6 (because the software was rock solid on the older OS) and to install Mavericks and FCPX on a separate bootable drive. At first I did a lot of back and forth between the old and new apps and the dual boot arrangement makes it kind of clunky to go from one to the other. As time goes by it’s less annoying because I find myself using the 10.6 system less and less.

As noted previously, simplest way is in FCPX.
In done in Compressor, the app will just add a duplicate frame every second if you choose Fast for Retiming Quality. Or it will manufacture a brand new frame every second if you choose Motion Compensated – and just to add, that will take about 4X as long to process.

Yes, just to say that Compressor works well with x.264.
It would be interesting to test h.264 CABAC against x.264.

Try this with C4.1 closed: In your Home Library > Applications Support>Compressor. Open the folder and if you have important custom settings, preserve them in a separate folder on your Desktop. Then drag the Compressor folder to the trash. Relaunch the app.

Please do…but I’ll be surprised if it will make a difference,
My installation of 10.1 exhibits same behavior, but otherwise is fine.

And much faster single pass mov and mp4 h.264 encoding.
