Transcoding: Review flagged and failed video files

Every video and subtitle file that you upload either through the console or directly to your S3 bucket will be checked by our probe. The probe checks if the file matches our VOD Specifications for transcoding.

The probe will give you 3 different statuses:

• Ready: All files comply with the specifications and you can start the transcoding process
• Flagged: One or multiple files don't match the specifications. You can either start the transcoding process without those files or replace them.
• Failed: The video file or the audio track doesn't match our specifications. You can start the transcoding after fixing the video and/or audio file

How to review the file

If the probe flagged your file or it even failed you can click on "Review" next to the probe status.

The media source overview shows you which file needs your attention.

Move on to Media overview to understand what part of your file is incorrect.
