MANAGE FILE CONVERSION

 

Before some of your media syncs to your Zune, it may need to be converted. This usually happens with large, high resolution video and picture files.

Once a media file is converted, as long as it isn't changed, the converted file is saved in a conversion cache folder on your computer so that it doesn't have to be converted again.

You can't prevent a song, video, or picture from being converted as long as it's in your collection and set to sync with your Zune. However, you can control some aspects of the conversion process:
