Q: Distributed Processing.

I am using compressor 4.2.2 and two macbook pros. When i use the distributed processing it seems like only one computer is processing. What am I doing wrong?

Compressor, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    It depends on what codec you are transcoding to.  Not all codecs can be used in distributed processing.   Also, the complexity of the transcode.  If it can be done faster with one or two cores on one Mac, that's all it will use.  We'd need to know more specifics.
