Quick: need way to kill system process. Force quitting in Activity mon does nothing

[BJB Productions]

Hi,
I've got a system process chewing up a ton of CPU and it won't quit in Activity Monitor. I need some commands to run to get rid of this system process! It's making my CPU and fans go nuts, and I can't restart because I'm in the middle of an upload. I know for a fact this process is not part of what I"m doing right now, it's called "compressordtranscoder" and it's left from GarageBand when I was exporting some stuff, but it won't go away even now that GarageBand is quit.
