But it appears ALL files, including videos, expire after 30 days, in which transcoded files are removed, leaving original only. Then, when accessed, this transcoding happens 'on the fly' - for pictures this is nothing. For videos, this is an issue.

Videos that need retranscoded don't play, until its transcoded. So you are stuck on the video screen wondering why it wont play. Then a minute or so, refresh window and it plays. This is ridiculous. 99% of members will just move on thinking the site is 'broke'. Next, a large burst of retranscoding video could bring a server to a halt.

Question: are transcoded files part of a members storage allocation? Or just original video, photo, etc?
