...green sync
Hi,  
  
I would like to refer to this thread  
  
[Link](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51045-temporary-folder-for-transcodes)  
  
There should be an Option to manage the Content that has been transcoded, instead of deleting it after sync.  
I use several devices and it's annoying to use time and recources to transcode a movie twice.

Fair point. Slow server though?  
  
  
  
I have never waited more than a minute for a Transcode. 20x-200x speed I get depending on the video file.

My Recordings are all Full HD (1080p, DTS, size around 6GB +) I need to convert them to a lower format (MP4, size of around 1,2 GB) – the speed is around 0.4x – 0.8x… Your box is able to do the conversion them in a minute? Not bad ;-).
