    Dennis and Conceiva,

    Has there been any progress on a pre-transcode option - ie the ability to transcode in advance?

    My pc is a bit slow and an option to start transcoding in advance would be helpeful!

    Yes, it's being tested now and we're working on making it easy and powerful to use. Shouldn't be too far away now - thank you for your patience!

    I see it's been over 2 months since the pre-transcoding has been tested - just wondering how much longer before it is released.

    Thanks

    +1 for this feature... it's what would take Mezzmo from good to great in my opinion.

    Being able to force or queue transcoding seems like a really necessary feature to me. Most files don't play well to my TV unless they have been transcoded first. I have a slow laptop I guess, because it sometimes takes hours to transcode a video file. I have to fire up Mezzmo and the TV, start playing the file on the TV, pause it, let the transcode finish (again... could take hours...) and THEN I can finally watch the video on my TV. Not an optimal experience at all.

    But... if I could just pop a video file into my Mezzmo library and tell it to begin transcoding, that would at least make the whole thing a little easier. So glad to hear this feature is coming soon!

    While I'm on the subject... making transcoding a more transparent process and giving the user more control in general would be awesome. For example, why are transcoded files named like this: 33-mpegts-libx264-ac3.mzt

    Why not the copy the file name of the original source video file, so it's obvious what the content of the .mzt is?

    So if I'm transcoding a file named "Most Awesome Video Ever.avi" the transcoded file is "Most Awesome Video Ever.mzt"

    Also, is it possible to import an .mzt back into Mezzmo?
