Batch Monitor
You use the Batch Monitor to monitor the progress of all transcoding batch activity,
including estimates for the transcoding time remaining for all jobs. The Batch Monitor
is a separate application that can be opened without opening Compressor. For more
details on the Batch Monitor see the Batch Monitor User Manual.
To open the Batch Monitor, do one of the following:
m
Submit a batch from the Batch window. By default, Compressor Preferences are set so
that Batch Monitor launches automatically when you submit a batch. See “
” on page 34 for more information.
m
Click the Batch Monitor button in the Batch window toolbar.
m
Double click the Batch Monitor icon in the Utilities folder.
The Batch Monitor displays the status of all your submitted batches. The Batch Monitor
contains the Status table, which displays each batch’s name and other details that you
can add or remove from the Status table via the Batch Monitor Preferences window.
Batches not yet running appear as pending. Once your batch has been processed, it
disappears from the Status table and moves to the History table at the bottom of the
Batch Monitor window. You can view reports for both successful and failed jobs in the
History table.
For more information about the controls and settings in the Batch Monitor, see the
Batch Monitor User Manual.
