The Conversion Server Window

The Conversion Server is an additional feature of Incite Media Assistants batch conversion utility package. It lets you create task lists containing file folders that the Conversion Server will monitor for the addition of new media files. When it detects a new media file, it will automatically convert the new media into the designated format (as defined by the task) and place the new files in the destination folder you specify. This tool is extremely useful, for example, when you are capturing new media files and wish to have the material immediately converted and efficiently organized as soon as it is captured.

To open the Conversion Server select Tools/Conversion Server from Incite Media Assistant's main toolbar. The Conversion Server window opens.

   

The Conversion Server window is basically a task list defining:

	1.	Which format you are converting into: AVI, QT or RM (To column)
	2.	Which folders you are monitoring (From Folder column)
	3.	The destination folder you are converting to (To Folder column)
	4.	Whether you are using Current settings are a specific Template: MCC or RVT file

Using the two toolbar commands, Watch List and Tasks, you can:

	1.	Add tasks to the task list (monitor file folders according to specific parameter settings
	2.	Remove tasks or clear entire task lists
	3.	Edit a specific task or rapidly create modified versions of a specific task
	4.	Save and load task lists (Watch List files *.WLF)
	5.	Combine task lists for simultaneous monitoring
	6.	View task details (Show Task) to see what AVI files have been detected and converted
