Additional Tips

All uploads are ripped to the local hard drive before being uploaded to the Synergy servers. This allows an upload to be resumed where it left off if it gets interrupted. Any interruption prior to the rip being completed, such as Video Express being closed or if the computer is powered off, will require that the upload process be started again. Upload Progress will remain blank until Rip Video Progress is complete. If the upload is interrupted during this phase, the upload will automatically continue where it left off from upon reopening Video Express. Once upload progress says “Complete” the game is available on Synergy’s servers.
