Is it possible to pre transcode videos I have in Plex in order to use less CPU usage?
Also, documentation for the Media Optimizer can be found here:

Is it possible to use other computers to pre transcode faster? My media server shares the disk as a network drive.

Not currently, but there’s a thread with users looking to create one

I transcode all of my videos into H264 / AAC stereo before I add them to my library. It is a very time consuming proccess, but I’m able to handle 5+ simultaneous streams with a single server.
Okay, I would like to know what Optimize setting will make a H264 / AAC combo.
I would like to pre-transcode most of my library into what is most commonly supported.
I tried “Original Quality” and it worked for the video but most are still transcoding the audio to ACC.
Any thoughts?
