Indicating unavailability of an uploaded video file that is being bitrate encoded

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable memory having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor based system to indicate unavailability of an already uploaded video file that is being bitrate encoded, comprising:

• a first program logic module for allowing the processor-based system to access an already uploaded video file on an online system;
• a second program logic module for enabling the processor-based system to determine that bitrate encoding processing is being performed with respect to an uploaded video file, the bitrate processing generating two or more encoded video files from the uploaded video file, each of the two or more encoded video files having a corresponding bitrate;
• and
• a third program logic module for enabling the processor-based system to provide a graphical user interface that includes a first interface element associated with the uploaded video file, the first interface element indicating that the uploaded video file is unavailable for processing except for the bitrate encoding processing in response to determination that the bitrate encoding processing is being performed with respect to the uploaded video file, wherein the graphical user interface further includes a set of menu options associated with each of the two or more encoded video files.
