Flash Video Encoding – Video On Demand



Flash Video Encoding

Video encoding used to be a dark art, but now there are hundreds of pieces of software that can convert your video into Flash. The video codecs (CODER-DECODER algorithms) are constantly improving and the quality of flash video is getting ever better at lower bandwidth.

Currently the main flash video encoding software is produced by Adobe and is included with their Flash Authoring software, On2 Technologies (who created the VP6 video codec) and Sorenson Media.

Currently everyone is promoting the latest H.264 video codec that is supported by the latest flash video player and is able to provide great quality full screen video at only 500kbps.

For server side flash video encoding and transcoding we recommend using FFMPEG, an opensource piece of software that creates fantastic quality flash video and is highly customisable.

We are, of course, happy to relieve you of the time and cost of compressing and encoding media files in-house. Our end-to-end video encoding and streaming media solutions enable you to take your existing video content and use it on the web.

We accept a diverse range of digital and analogue formats and convert them to encoded digital media for use as streaming media, always ensuring the highest quality compression available.

Digital and analogue video/audio transports we can accept for encoding are:

We can also accept to following digital formats:
