How do I tell the status of a video? Transcoded or not?
My question is specific to the Mezzmo interface.
When I am in the Mezzmo program is there a way to tell what is transcoded and what is not?

I did do Options/Logging and selected Add Text to title when a file requires transcoding.
I want a feature similar within the program.

Hi oteroman,

You can have many DLNA/UPnP devices in your home and each of your video files may be transcoded into a different format for each device (since each device in your home probably has different format support) or may not be transcoded at all if the device(s) support that format.

You can tell if a video has been transcoded or not by right-clicking on the video in Mezzmo and clicking Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and you will see all transcoded files for the video.

You can tell if a video is transcoding on-the-fly when you are streaming it to a device by going to the Transcoding pane. If the video is listed there and is transcoding, then you know that Mezzmo is transcoding it on-the-fly so it can be played on your device.
