Using compressor for distributive processing with Winner Compusoft on Parallels

Would be very grateful for any help on this matter. I am trying to utilise distributive processing to speed up render times in my work and all my searches on google take me too compressor. My question is pretty straight forward- can I use compressor to accomplish distributive processing between around 6 iMacs for a rendering program that I am using through Parallels?

thank you

Compressor will only use distributive processing with its own transcoding jobs. It won't work with third party apps unless they export a video file or image sequence first, then you let Compressor transcode it to another format. It is not a "render farm engine" like you may be thinking. Especially with a Windows application. It simply won't do that, not what it is made for.
