Not necessarily. In case a recording was interrupted during an event, all associated DV files will be concatenated during encoding. This is not done on disk but as part of a pipeline - see make_source_command() in dc-do-transcoding. > - how hard would it be to redo the encoding of a few files, after a > cleaning of the sound tracks ? Not terribly easy. But you could do something like: 1. Stop dc-do-transcoding 2 (a) Delete video_target_file rows from the database for the broken files (I thought there was a proper UI for this, but I don't think there is), or (b) Rate the broken files as 'F' and edit dc-do-transcoding to select on this rating rather than absence (see the first SELECT statement in get_job_queue()) 3. Use dc-do-transcoding --dry-run to generate the commands that would be run to regenerate those files 4. Edit those commands to insert the sound filter 5. Divide up those commands across the transcoding machines we have, and run them 'directly' (A better thing to do in the long run would be to extend the database schema, review UI and dc-do-transcoding to include these filters in batch transcoding as necessary. Or switch to some other video batch processing software that already supports this...)
