New Post: Copying file to working folder?

In version 2.3.12, if you leave the "temp folder" blank, MCEbuddy does not appear to take any time to copy the file being worked on to another folder. However, in both 2.3.13, there does not appear to be an option to leave the file in the same directory.

I'm running MCEBuddy on a computer connected usb to an external HD. Simply copying a 7GB TS file on the HD to another folder on the same HD takes about 50 minutes. Is there anyway to avoid this step? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
