Stupid question about transcoding and muxing

[JSmith]

Hi all,

I'm new here. I've only been using UMS for a few days, but I love it!

I have one question about the transcoding and muxing, which I'm sure is a stupid question, and I'm 99% sure I know the answer already.

When I transcode or mux a file with UMS to my TV, is the original file changed in any way?

So, lets say my TV didn't support MKV files, and I played one using UMS. UMS would transcode the file, and it would play. Would the MD5 of the file be the same afterwards, or has UMS changed the file in some way?

Thank you!

No changes whatsoever to the original file, transcoding/remuxing occurs on the fly.

Thank you for confirming that!
