I had a general question about optimizing media files. Since I have a decent amount of storage I decided to make the streaming process as smooth as possible by pre-transcoding each of my blu-ray videos into three format: mobile, tv, and original quality. I scheduled the optimizations and they completed, but I only see one file for each movie in the “Plex Versions” folder (I opted to place each of the optimized videos in the same folder as the originals). If I try to re-submit an optimization for a movie that only shows a version in mobile, for example to create an original quality optimization, it gives me a message stating that the optimization file already exists. Is that the way it typically works? One mp4 file for however many optimizations you create?
I should mention that I’m using the latest stable version of Plex. Thanks!
