- Are there videos in the library with encoding or corruption errors
* :ref:`purge` selected videos in a media library
* :ref:`fferror` on selected videos in a media library
* :ref:`convert` videos from an old codec to `High Efficiency Video Coding <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding>`_
