Conversions Tab

 
The Conversions Tab shows a list of queued, in process and completed conversion tasks that have been processed by Handbrake.  You can use this view to track the progress of your conversions and to cancel an in-process or queued conversion.
 
In order to configure video conversions, you can either configure a Watch Folder to be 'video conversion enabled', set up automated DVD/BluRay ripping or manually rip a DVD/BluRay depending on your requirements.
 
Remember: whilst you can view your conversion statuses within the iHomeServer Management Console, you can also access your Conversions using iHomeServer Web Access.  Please see this topic for further information.
