an old problem reared its head when we tried to use Compressor to render H.264 video. When we would submit jobs directly from FCP using the Share -> Using Compressor option in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/830088?start=0&tstart=0 Final Cut Studio 3, the Compressor jobs would fail with "Quicktime Error -120." And once one job failed, all the jobs that came after would fail too.Asking around the office, nobody could say for sure what Error -120 stood for – but one of our old-timers did suggest a fix. Simply pick "Reset Background Processing" from the Compressor application menu, and Compressor will flush out any http://www.geniusdv.com/news_and_tutorials/2009/12/quicktime_error_-120_in_compressor.php old flotsam from its background rendering pipeline.After the jump, a little bit about what Reset Background Processing does ... In basic terms, Compressor offloads its compression jobs to a background distributed rendering engine called QMaster. Incidentally, this engine can also power background rendering for Maya and Shake if you want it to. The catch is that, even though you may only be using your local workstation to render your video, QMaster still goes through the motions of setting up shared folders and job lists and chunking out the render for distribution.Normally, this just means that Compressor is insanely easy to set up for a distributed render. Unfortunately, it also introduces an awful lot of moving parts to the render process. Any of these is prone to break – and, in our experience so far with Snow Leopard (10.6.2), Apple still hasn't quite worked all the kinks out of the Compressor render pipeline.So if you're a heavy Final Cut Studio user, you might want to put off your Snow Leopard upgrade until the next round of system updates – and if you're already upgraded, get used to using that "Reset Background Processing" function with s

View quicktime error Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Articles Moderator Join Date Sep 2008 Location Knoxville, TN Posts 7,580 11-16-200907:50 PM This evening, I have hit a major roadblock. Trying to compress a DV video (DVX-originated footage, exported at current settings to a full-rez, self-contained file) for Vimeo. Using Compressor as a standalone as I always due, and the same Compressor preset that I've used a million times. Yet, now when quicktime error 120 I submit, Batch Monitor shows it immediately failes due to a QuickTime error -120. I tried deleting the video file and re-exporting it from FCP (FCS2), trashed .plist files for Compressor... no change. Any ideas?

I'm rending out text in after effects (no footage) using the Avid DNxHD codec. But the only way to get it to render is to turn off the alpha channel in the codec settings. Otherwise I get the "Quicktime codec error (-8960)". This is useless because i need to text to go over the video in MC. I could of course just render off in another format, and that does work fine but wouldnt it be nice to do everything Avid native? (I have high brand loyalty...)
