Batch Jobs

The Jobs window on the Batch page contains a list of files; past, present and future that are queued up for conversion. Each line shows the name of the input file, the output file and the current status of the encoding. You can see more details if you hover over a line item with your mouse pointer which causes a window to pop-up displaying the full file paths and which profile is being used.

Along the bottom of the Jobs window, there are a series of buttons for manipulating items in the queue. The first will be labeled Stop or Resume depending on what the doctor is currently doing. You'll probably need to use the Resume button to start encoding the first video on the Job list although there is a setting under Preferences to automatically start encoding.

Moving to the right you'll find the Configure button. If you have second thoughts about what encoding options you want to use, you can highlight any item in the job list and press the Configure button to make some tweaks. Dr. DivX will the job back to the File page where you can readjust the encoding parameters before pressing the Encode button to put the file back on the Batch page.

Of course there's a Remove button in the middle that obliterates jobs from the batch. Just highlight the item you want gone and press Remove. Be careful though. Dr. DivX will drop the job straight away without the customary, are you sure? warning.

The last two buttons are to reshuffle videos in the queue. Dr. DivX will work through the list sequentially from the top. If you care about which files get converted first, you can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the sequence.
