compressor 2.3 - unknown status in hist window - where is the partial file?

My lower memory slot failed again recently and so I am having performance issues. I was trying to compress a 4 minute HD video for Vimeo and it was taking more than 10 days to process! In any event, our power went out today and so my computer shut down while I was compressing the file (I was at a little over 60%!) When I restarted the computer and opened compressor and batch monitor back up, the batch had simply vanished! The destination for the file was my desktop and I searched around but cannot find it anywhere. I really don't want to have to start the whole process over again and so I was wondering if anyone here could tell me where I can find the batch that was in process. In the compressor history the status of the file reads simply 'unknown'

Thanks for your response. It is certainly disappointing to hear that the batch cannot be resumed. I think I did have frame controls on as I was using the de-interlace filter as well as sizing the video as recommended on the Vimeo website. I also have Handbrake...I may try to use that program instead. That is, after I visit my local Apple Store to discuss the repair of my logic board.

Thank you again!
