=== Transcoding ===‎

Edit

'''Transcoding''' allows you to encode media files to a variety of formats while copying or moving them to a collection ('''Local Collection''', USB '''Universal Mass Storage Collection''' and '''iPod, iPad & iPhone Collection''' support transcoding as of '''Amarok''' 2.8). A word of warning: be careful when you use this feature, as you are working with actual files on your hard drive. Have a backup!‎

Edit

==== Interface ====‎

Edit

The ''Transcoding'' dialog will appear whenever you copy or move tracks to one of the collections that support transcoding. You can also transcode tracks within the ''Local Collection'' by using the <menuchoice>Organize files</menuchoice> functionality.‎

Edit

==== Transcode Tracks Dialog ====‎

Edit

If you choose to copy or move files to a supported collection, the following dialog will pop up:‎

==== Pro Tip: Strip Audio out of Video Files ====‎

Choose one of the encoders, hit <menuchoice>Transcode</menuchoice> and transcoding will begin.‎
