View Full Version : deleting intermediary files

I have a small problem. I'm rather short of hard drive space these days, which makes it difficult to do encodes. I mostly do TV shows, in case it matters. It takes somewhere in the region of 700 Mb per show free space to do encodes (350 for the episode, 300 for the movie file, and 50 for the Mp3 of the audio). So, if I want to do them in a reasonable time frame by queuing up multiple shows, I need a bunch of free space--2.1 Gb for 3 shows, for example. But as soon as it finishes, I can delete at least 350 Mb of files (the intermediate movie file and the audio, at the least--for that matter, even the raw VOBs, which are maybe 2 GB/episode.)

So, is there any way I can set GKnot to do this automatically? It'd be way easier to queue shows if it deletes all the intermediary files (and ideally the raw VOBs too) as soon as it's done encoding.

Can that be done?

using gknot no, in autogk you can set the same output dir for all the files in the queue and then agk_tmp dir will be cleaned up automatically before next encode starts.
