Compressor Keeps Failing

I am so freakin annoyed... I was using compressor QT H264 and stepped away to take a phone call. When I came back to the computer, it had failed. So, I started Compressor over again using the same H264 QT attempt. I let it do its thing for about 2.5 hours. All the while I was online reading blogs and crap like that and then looked over at compressor and it has failed again. What on earth am I doing wrong? I have started it over again using the Apple TV option in compressor. That has always worked for me in the past so hopefully it will work again but my professor has asked for the QT H264 option to be used? I have to work tomorrow and really didn't want to have to deal with this, but I suppose I can take off if need be. If someone can, will you post and let me know if you have any idea what I am doing wrong... hopefully this apple TV version will work for me and then work for the premiere... sorry to bother you on something that seems so simple...
thanks

i used this link and just totally disregarded compressor:
http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,17676

quick question though... by putting "current settings" as the choice will that maintain the 1080p that it was shot in? is that what "current settings" means?
that link says to put the QT file into compressor... why would i do this? don't i have a full HD QT file in H264 once it gets done with the FCP QT conversion? what's the point in taking it over to compressor?
 
What version of Compressor on what machine configured with how much RAM?

What does "using compressor QT H264" means? Is that a preset? What is the codec, frame rate and size of the video file you are converting? How long, and how much free space on the drive that the file is being encoded to?
