Without a selected destination, the output file is saved to the same folder as the source
media file. This may be satisfactory for your needs, but if there are various remote
uploading servers, or if you just want a specific type of output file to end up in a
specific location, you must assign that destination.

If you have a volume open on your desktop, it is treated the same as a local destination
and allows you to save output media files directly, without the extra steps needed for
remote destinations, such as specifying the host name and entering the username and
password. When you use the remote option for your destination, you can save to any
folder under the User directory of that remote computer.

Once you have created all your necessary destinations, you won’t have to open the
Destinations tab of the Presets window again, because you can select all destinations
directly from the Batch window once they have been created.

Note: Make sure that your output files have access and appropriate privileges to any
remote destination you assign. An iDisk volume cannot be used as a destination. If
you want to save the output media file to a mounted iDisk volume, first save the file
to another destination, and then drag it to the mounted iDisk volume after it has
been transcoded.
