Title
Looking for an automated transcoding solution

Content

Hello,

I have a windows server running FMS3.5.  The website that uses the FMS installation has a user area, where users upload their own audio files.

Currently, I have to ask users to upload at a specific (high) bitrate, and then I have to manually go in after the fact and transcode the files down to 128kbps, which is what I use to stream the media.  

It's not a great deal of work, however it's just one more step that takes time -- It would be great to be able to have the files transcoded upon completion of upload, and I was wondering if anyone currently has a solution for this.

Any info would be great.

Thanks!

Once you create a Watch Folder, then Right-Click the Watch Folder or CTRL-E and edit/save your own custom formats. How it works: Each time a file audio or video is dropped into this folder it will re-encode based on the preset you selected and move it to the Output sub-folder of the watch folder. You can also have your scripts move files to the appropriate watch folders based on what you want done (e.g. Orignal incoming 256bit file to (Watch Folders) 96bit or 128bit)
