<h1>Transcoding settings</h1>
<p>The "Transcoding settings" tab allows you to specify how content
will be transcoded. PMS uses external programs to transcode and stream
content to your device. Some of these programs overlap in what kind of
media they can transcode. On this tab you can specify which order of
preference the programs have when PMS determines how to transcode
media. For each media type there is a list of programs, sorted by
preference. The topmost program is most likely to be used. If it
cannot transcode the media, the next program on the list is used, and
so on.</p>
