    Default Windows Reinstallation

    If I reinstall windows on my computer, will I lose all my pretranscoded files. I have everything backed up, and my transcoded files are store on another drive, but I'm wondering if mezzmo will recognize it after a fresh install.

    You should be fine - as long as you make a backup of your Mezzmo database folder and your Mezzmo transcoding folder. After you re-install Mezzmo, you should restore these backed up folders back to their correct location. Let us know if you have any problems.

    where is the data base folder located so i can make sure it is backed up, will this keep me from having to reimport all my movies as well?

    Mezzmo database folder location:

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Conceiva\Mezzmo (for Win8/Win7/Vista)
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Conceiva\Mezzmo (for Win XP)

    Yes - if you restore this folder, then your Mezzmo library will be restored and you will not have to re-import your media files (assuming that your media files still exist at the same location on your computer/NAS/etc.)

    Ok so i moved over the mezzmo folder and it had all my media in there, but nothing is transcoded, the transcode folder is on a removable drive, and it did not get reformatted, and I checked and it is pointing to the right folder, but its not recognizing any of my transcodes. the only thing i can think of is that now the drive has a different letter assigned to it, if this is the cause, is there a way to fix this or should i just delete that folder and start over.

    If the drive letter has changed, then that will be the reason for the missing transcoded files. We can fix this for you if you like. Please email us the "MezzmoTranscode.db" file from your original setup to support [at] conceiva [dot] com. In your email, also tell us the location of new your transcoding folder (e.g. Z:\transcoded_files\) so we know how to change the database with the new location.
