# UseTempFolder

A Boolean value that specifies whether MPEG files are created in a temporary folder (specified by MpegTempPath).

If the OutputPath is a network folder, consider setting this parameter to `TRUE`:

- using a temporary folder is more efficient because Media Server only transfers data across the network when a file is complete.
- the task does not fail if the network folder becomes temporarily unavailable while encoding is in progress. The folder only needs to be available when the file is copied from the temporary folder to the output destination.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | `UseTempFolder=TRUE`
