Q: FCPX: When I try to 'share' and create a DVD, I get the following error: (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)

When I try to 'share' and create a DVD with FCPX, I get the following error: (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)

 

What can I do?

 

I also have Compressor 4 installed but whenever I run it, it crashes during launch.

    Check Software Updates to verify that Final Cut and Compressor are most current versions.

     

    Use this free tool to trash preferences.

    Thanks very much. I downloaded the tool, trashed and deleted preferences, rebooted, but the problem persists.

     

    Any idea what to try next?

    I would create a test project with a short clip, export that as a QuickTime file and bring it into Compressor. Use the DVD preset from the batch template for the encode/burn test. In the Job Action tab, change output device to HD (no sense wasting a disk)  and see whether it will complete the job.

    Thanks again Russ.

     

    The problem seems to be with Compressor (v4).

     

    It never worked properly (always stopped at 95%). I deleted it and reinstalled from the App Store.

     

    Now it won't run.

     

    Each time I launch, the interface appears briefly (about 5 seconds) but then it crashes and sends a report to Apple. I must have sent about 45 reports by now, no idea what to do.

     

    Somehow have to figure out how to burn a DVD for a client by Monday...

     

    Any suggestions?

    Let's try uninsalling and re-instaling again, using Digital Rebellion's FCS Remover tool.

    Hi again,

     

    I pepaired permissions, removed Compressor with Digital Rebellion's FCS Remover, reinstalled but still Compressor crashes about 10 second after launch, and FCPX still gives the following error when I click Share Y DVD > Burn: com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1

     

    I'm at my wit's end.

     

    Any other ideas?

    You may try deleting Compressor's preferences:


    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.plist

    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.plist.lockfile

    I would uninstall again (with The FCS Remover) but not reinstall. Try the job on FCPX on its own to see what results.

     

    BTW, what are your systemms specs?

     

    Luis, just to let you know he's already done the prefs thing a couple of different ways.

    I removed Compressor and QMaster with the FCS Remover and then tried on FCPX but got the same error.

     

    My specs are:

     

    Mac Pro (Early 2009) running OSX Lion 10.7.4

    2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    Memory: 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

    Well, so much for the spec question, but had to ask,

     

    if Compressor as not on your system, and Share is still broken, and since I think you've also trashed FCPP preferences, them next step would be to uninstall FCP, re-install and repair permissions. See if it will export/share to…DVD and/or any other preset. (Question: does FCP behave properly other than this one shre option?)

    Also: What OS were you running when you first installed FCPX and Compressor?  Assume you were running 10.6 when you downloaded 10.7; so was that upgrade a clean install and were the apps installed after that upgrade? Or were the apps previously running on 10.6?

    FCP behaves fine apart from this issue. If I reinstall, I wonder what happens to all my projects..?

     

    The upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7 was a clean install.

     

    I installed Lion, then FCPX, then Compressor one month later.

    In theory, nothing. I woiuldn't hesitate myself, but I have backups of Events, Projects and all my Final Cut Studio files. (Of course you should too.) If you have back-ups, and something bizzare happens, you may have to do some media reconnecting…hopefully that won't be an issue. (My expereinece with this in new apps is limited to reinstalling Compressor and transitioning from the trial X to the paid version. But in both cases had no issues with projects that had been created by the earlier downloads).

     

    Let's hope this solves it…that is if you decide to reinstall.

     

    Best of luck.

     

    Russ
