For some users their recording software generates the same filename over and over again for some recordings, so this setting allows them (in conjunction with delete original) to convert the new recordings with the same filename. Similarly for converted videos, its’ used by advanced users to daisy chain the conversions. See this post for an explanation: > [@Move Scheduling to the Task level](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/feature-move-scheduling-to-the-task-level/1425/3): > > Features are prioritized based on votes. Here a neat way to do what you want in the mean time. It’s called “Daisy Chaining” conversions. Basically you setup one monitor task which feeds into the first conversion task (MKV Unprocessed), then you setup a second monitor task which monitors the output of the first conversion task, but with a delay, which then feeds into a second conversion task (MP4). Here are some screenshots for a step by step working tutorial on setting up a daisy chain (using … The reason they are in red is because they can cause your setup to go into endless loop of conversions because it bypasses some typical safety checks. So if you’re going to enable them double check that you don’t have any closed loops in your setup. --- _[View the full topic](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/converting-propers/3563)._
