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

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.
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.
