A feature request - transcoding TV shows to MP4 etc should prevent the PC from going to sleep until the queue is empty.

[~OHM~]

OTHER SOLUTIONS: check out power options on your PC. There are multiple ways to get your system to stay awake, the easiest of them is to create a new power profile that either extends (say 4 hours) or completely turns off the sleep timer while you are encoding.

Another, cheap and easy way, is to load a video or audio file in Windows Media Player, and pause it. This will cause WMP to tell the system not to sleep because it is "playing" a media file.

I think he wants MC to prevent the PC from sleeping directly without having to use tricks. If WMP is able keep the PC awake then MC should be able to do so too.

Right, for example Handbrake has an option to prevent the PC from sleeping while transcoding is in progress. It's a pretty standard feature.

Changed: Convert Format tool will prevent system from going to sleep.
