The Batch Has More Than One Target With The Same URL

Sorry that this is a repeat post but I wanted to expand the title but it was too late.

I am trying to use the latest fcpx/compressor combination after my final cut studio2 rig imploded. Having an old machine around is not an option for me right now so I am struggling big time with the “new paradigm” on a 2017 iMac. I still do dance recitals and weddings. Yep, that means DVDs. Lots of them. I’m trying to create .m2v and dolby ac3 files. I keep getting the above message when I submit a batch. Im still unfamiliar with the interface but it looks like I’ve got a batch that has a dozen or two source files, one for each type of file that can be produced. I the get the above error message when I submit the batch. I can’t seem to delete them because when I quit and come back they reappear! This is driving me nuts. What am I missing?

Again, Sorry about the repost

From your screen shot, the original is in red, which means Compressor is unable to locate it. Delete them all, clear your Batch window completely.

I've never seen a situation where multiple targets are automatically assigned to an original to be transcoded. Let's start with clearing away all that old stuff in the Batch window.

Go to Preferences, to the General section. Make sure Setting is set to None, and Location is set to Source. Then make sure that both options are checked for the "After starting new batch" section.
