New Post: Copying file to working folder?

Hi rboy1

I've hundreds of HD WTV files (5TB) and have tried to "rename only" and "extract mc info", but no commercial remove, no trimming, but still the original file is copied to the working path and later back to the destination path which takes a while (v2.3.12). Why does this happen?

If I understand your answer above, a copy is necessary to avoid loosing the original file:

• if the source file is a TS AND (commerercials are being removed OR file is being trimmed)
• OR if file is being Renamed ONLY
• OR if source file contains a Zero Channel Audio track
  

I understand the risk with a conversion fail but why a copy is need for "Rename ONLY"? The only problem I can think of is that a files with the same name already exists, but why not doing a quick check before renaming and if one exists write an error to the log and leave the file as it is?

PS: Really nice tool, a bit uncommon GUI for beginners and a german translation which should be removed - locks like an automatic translation.

Thanks, Chris
