Just did some more sleuthing and found that using the "Reset Background Processing" item in the Compressor menu did the trick.Return to posts indexReport Post<< PREVIOUS • VIEW ALL • PRINT • NEXT >>© 2016 CreativeCOW.net All Rights Reserved[TOP]
some folks complain that Compressor is more trouble than it's worth, I use it regularly to create self-contained QuickTime files and format conversions. No problems, really, until this evening. Encoding a QT video from the Animation codec to a custom H.264 file resulted in Compressor generating "QuickTime error -120." My was Mac was recently rebooted and neither Final Cut Pro or QuickTime Player was loaded at the time. The problem was resolved using a suggestion from Apple's discussion forum. In summary: As a workaround for the -120 errors, I noticed the Compressor application menu has a choice for Reset https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1137367 Background Processing… which does get things working again, but isn't really a good solution and suggests there's a bug in the background application (qmasterd). FWIW, the forum post is dated May 12, 2007 and I experienced this error on May 26, 2008 - one year and software version later.
