Q: Qmaster questions
Hey everyone!
I just got a copy of FCS (FCP 5.1, DVDSP4, etc.) and I have several questions about Qmaster:
1) I do have a black MacBook in addition to my G5. Is it possible to wirelessly (via wifi router) to use both machines with Qmaster and make a tiny "render farm?" If not wirelessly, what about vis firewire?
2) If that isn't possible, is it a necessity to install Qmaster if I am only using my G5 desktop for my editing, etc.?
Thanks!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Black Macbook 2.4 Ghz

If you want to run a distributed processing operation, you must have the same version of Qmaster on all the machines. It is the mechanism used by all the computers talk to each other and run Compressor.
Qmaster should not take up 27 GB of space. It is really a very small application + the relevant codecs.
