I thought I'd try submitting a batch to compressor (3) from Final Cut yesterday. All went well until it reached the 7th clip, on which it froze. I say froze, but in actual fact, the time remaining just kept on climbing. Tried to cancel and it wouldn't. Tried to submit other batches and it just ignored them. Quit Compressor and Batch monitor and when I re-opened them, it was still there, steadily climbing in time.
I restarted and re-tried it, this time from a QT reference, so I could continue working in FCP. Again it got stuck on this clip, but was able to do others. So I gave up on that clip, restarted, and finished the rest. Today when i opened compressor, it had somehow found that clip again and was quietly trying to compress it. I can't cancel it, it won't go away if I restart it, I've deleted preferences, done disk repairs, and have tried re-installing. IT WON'T GO AWAY!!!!
Any help would be muchly appreciated! It was almost up to 3 hours at one point. The clip duration is only 5 seconds! Help!!!

Seen it. Tried it. Different problem.
My clip isn't actually compressing at all. The file is stuck at less than a third and try as I might I can't cancel it. I can't stop it. I can't get rid of it by closing the program. I can't even get rid of it by re-starting.
I've tried re-installing, as that's the only advice Apple gives, but have hit problems with that too. Please someone help!
