What is an Original File?​

An original file refers to the initial source file uploaded by a customer to the Kollus VOD system prior to transcoding. By default, the original file is automatically deleted after transcoding is complete to maximize storage efficiency.

Benefits of Storing Original Files​

Enabling the original file storage feature retains the original source alongside the converted files. Using this feature allows you to immediately respond in the following scenarios without the hassle of re-uploading content:

  • Original Quality Check: You can immediately inspect the original source if playback or quality issues occur with specific content.
  • Additional Transcoding: You can directly use the existing source when additional transcoding is required to apply new encoding profiles.

Precautions​

  • Cost and Capacity Management: Storing both the original file and transcoded files simultaneously may significantly increase overall storage usage.
  • Re-upload Required on Task Failure: If a task fails due to a technical error during transcoding, the original file is automatically deleted according to system policy. In this case, you must re-upload the original source file to restart the task.

Enable original file storage​

Not applied retroactively

The original file is stored only for content newly uploaded after the setting is completed.

  1. Go to [Settings] > [Save original file] in the Kollus VOD console.
  2. In the "Would you like to save the uploaded original file?" item, select [Save original files], then click [Save].
  3. From then on, for all subsequently uploaded content, the original file will remain on the server even after transcoding is completed.

Search for original files​

In the library, you can quickly filter for content whose original file is stored.

  1. Go to the [Library] menu in the Kollus VOD console.
  2. Click the filter icon to the right of the search box.
  3. Among the filter items, select [Present] under [Original File], then click [Apply]. For a more precise search, you can set the [Registration date] item to view files uploaded within a specific period.

Download and delete original files​

You can download the stored original files to your local PC, or permanently delete them to manage storage capacity.

  1. In the Kollus VOD console, go to the [Library] menu and select the target content.
  2. In the right panel, click the download/delete icon next to [Basic] tab > [Original file name].
