Clusters- what am I doing wrong?
I know this has been beaten to death but I'm really frustrated. I never had any problems setting up clusters in Compressor 3 and getting them to work. I have an 8 core mac pro with 16 gigs of ram. When I would transcode dv to m2v, activity monitor showed usage at about 95%. Then I downloaded FCP Xand that seemed to hose the setup- now only runs at 35%. (Fortunately, I have another set up clone on another hardrive and that still works- no FCP X).
So the I decided to download Compressor 4. I read the manual. I followed intructions on setting up a cluster. But when I submit a job, only "this computer" shows up. It uses 35% of core resources. If I check the box next to it (computer plus share) it won't even encode. Would somebody please provide a step by step description of how an old geezer like me can set up a cluster on my mac pro and actually get it to work. Your indulgence is most appreciated.
