ProCoder 3
Create a Watch Folder
If you choose the Create a watch folder option on the ProCoder 3 Wizard Welcome
screen, the Select Watch Folder screen appears. Watch folders are useful for streamlining
the conversion process by automatically encoding files that are placed inside it. If you
create a Watch folder, the settings you specify using the Wizard are used to convert any
files that are placed in the Watch folder.
By sharing a watch folder on the network, you can easily accept files written by other
computers for conversion.
Click the … button to specify a Watch folder. Click the Next button to proceed to the next
screen.
To create a watch folder that will be active regardless of whether the ProCoder 3 Wizard is
open, use the ProCoder Watch Folder Manager to create a Permanent Watch Folder.
Folders watched in this manner are only active while the ProCoder 3 Wizard is running.
Once the ProCoder 3 Wizard is closed, the folder is no longer watched. To create a
watch folder that is active regardless of whether the ProCoder 3 Wizard is open, use
the ProCoder Watch Folder Mananger to create a Permanent Watch Folder.
