    Hi !

    Is it possible to resume a conversion after a power failure.

    I am using diko, encoding with cce.

    When I left it was working over the second pass and the power was cut when it should have been around 50%

    Is it any way to resume this - at least to redo the second pass or something?
    It's the second time I'm restarting this project after some idiot wondered what the reset button is for, and I wouldn't like to restart this again (on my old tin can this takes 18h or so)

    Thank you in advance.

    D.I.K.O. v.0.78b3,
    cce 2.67.00.27

    If the conversion is important and you'd like it to work as intended, after a power failure the best method is to restart the conversion process. same goes for anything being done during a power failure.

    I am aware of that (thought that too), but since the first pass was done complete I was hoping I can just restart the second pass. But thank you for the answer.
    I am restarting now the conversion, but I would still like to know if there are ways to restart a conversion. (Some movies I like a lot I do in 4 passes and that is something I really don't like restarting)

    CCE has an option (that may not be available through other front ends such as DIKO) to reuse calculated vaf files. These are created on the first pass as a seperate process. Once created, the actual encoding passes begin, and I believe if these are interrupted then you must start them again.
