Apple Compressor 3 Batch Monitor - Manual

Batch Monitor User Manual
You can use the Batch Monitor to view or adjust the
status of batches and jobs processed by Compressor or
Apple Qmaster. You can also use the Batch Monitor to view
detailed history for recently completed batches and jobs.
You use the Batch Monitor to monitor the transcoding progress of batches and jobs.
You can pause, resume, cancel, and get the status for any submitted batch and/or any
individual job, target, or target segment.
Just as Printer Setup Utility allows you to view print jobs submitted to a printer, the
Batch Monitor lets you view the status of batches submitted for processing. For
example, the Batch Monitor displays each batch’s name, details of where it originated,
the percentage of completion, and the estimated time before completion. Batches not
yet running appear as pending. Each batch, job, target, and target segment includes
status information and a progress bar, as well as buttons you can use to pause, resume,
cancel, and get the status of a transcode that is currently in progress.
