At this point, the packed file (.agm extension) will be found in the output directory. All packed files have the .agm extension. Next, see Uploading Packed Files, page 25.

αχ Note 3: The Packer GUI drop-down lists define the input channel configuration. This information will carry over to the Encoder GUI, which will then present other formatting choices based on the configuration of the packed files.

3.4.Encoding Immediately after Packing

Since we chose “Pack remote file” in our example, the packed file was stored in your user directory on the server where the Network Encoder

program resides.

From your Network Encoder Home Page, click the Job Specifier button.

The Job Specifier screen will display.

αχ Note: The information about our example packed file is already loaded on this screen because it was the only packed file available for encoding. If you upload more packed files to your user directory, you will be able to select which packed file to use for the encoding job you are about to specify.

1.Select the packed .agm file to encode, from the pull-down listing. The other fields are automatically completed based on the characteristics of the selected .agm file.

2.Enter a Job name and an Output file name. (Output file names should NOT have spaces.)

The job name is arbitrary, and is only used to identify submitted encoding jobs. It is possible to submit more than one encoding job using the same packed file. The job name must be different among jobs so they can be

properly identified in the system.

Set the Priority (High, Normal, or Low). The Encoding Service will encode pending jobs based on the order they were received and their requested priorities.

3.If Encode whole source file is checked, the time fields are read-only
