Thank you Russ for the tip. You are absolutely right, it’s not problem of the compressor but in fact is problem of FCP, and since I run the compressor independently it’s working just fine.
I’m not quite sure but I think that this problem might has to do with the data import, in other words has to do with the fact that for the import of 2 hours video the FCP needed about 2 days to perform the transcoding process. I’ve realized that I can’t use the imported data before the transcoding process finalized. Today I bought new 4 memories 8 Gb each, I’ve just installed them and the only I have to do is to start the project from the beginning.
I will like to share with you my experience so far after the installation of the new memories.
Slow performance of FCP 10.1.
I’ve upgraded the memory of my imac from 8Gb to 32gb. (I have an imac 11.1 2009 late, i7, 2.8Ghz, cpu socket 1156, these CPUs are discontinued).
I’ve purchase from Media Mark stores the following memory:

I’ve bought 4 pcs of mem 8Gb for only 35,00 euros each, cheaper than the OWC e-shop that sales the 8Gb mem for 45,00 euros (59.90 US Dollars each).
The point is that the imac operates normally the system has ignored immediately the new memories. The best of all is that the FCP is running now faster than the old version 10.0. Seemed that the main reason for the slow performance was only the amount of memory.
Compressor 4 crashes.
Actually I’m not fan de-installations and re-installations of the applications, since I have gained bad experiences the previous years. I’ve just read the instructions of Compressor troubleshooting step by step http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3894 .
Then I download the ProApps codes of Quicktime from here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1396 and then magically the compressor operates normally.
