Optimized video delivery using adaptive streaming formats for fast loading on any device
Video transcoding is an integral part of our service, designed to provide seamless and efficient transcoding capabilities. It specializes in converting input videos into adaptive streaming formats, such as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). With support for various input file formats and target resolutions, optimal video delivery is guaranteed across multiple devices and network conditions.

The process can be summarized in three simple steps:
Upload of the origin video file to Filerobot.
Transcoding into chunks with support for multiple target resolutions.
Generation of the playlist file (.mpd for DASH and .m3u8 for HLS) that provides the necessary information for the video player to retrieve and play the video segments in a specific order and format.
By leveraging video transcoding for adaptive streaming, you gain access to the following:
Multi-device compatibility - With adaptive streaming formats like HLS and DASH, the videos become compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and desktop computers. This broad compatibility ensures that the content reaches a larger audience.
Improved user experience - Adaptive streaming adjusts the video quality dynamically, based on the viewer's available bandwidth. This results in reduced buffering times, faster start-up and uninterrupted playback, enhancing the overall user experience.
Bandwidth optimization - Our service efficiently compresses and transcodes videos, reducing the file size without compromising the visual quality. This optimization helps to minimize bandwidth consumption, allowing smoother playback even on limited network connections.
Scalability and flexibility - Support for large volumes of video transcoding requests as well as a wide range of input file formats and target resolutions, thus ensuring scalability and providing flexibility in adapting to specific requirements.

Transform and optimize your videos for various devices and platforms
The Video compression service provides a way to modify input videos by changing their bitrate and resolution. With support for multiple input formats and the flexibility to specify target resolution and bitrate using either concrete numeric values or predefined strings for typical uses, customers can optimize their video content for various devices and use cases.
A wide range of input video formats are supported, enabling video compression regardless of the original format and ensuring utilization across different platforms, devices, and playback environments.
The ability to specify target resolution and bitrate in several ways offers great flexibility. Videos can be easily adapted for different devices, screen sizes and network conditions, optimizing the viewing experience for their audience.
By converting videos to target resolutions and bitrates suitable for specific types of devices (e.g., mobile, tablet, desktop), the service ensures optimal playback performance and user experience. The delivered videos are tailored to the capabilities and display characteristics of different devices.
Video compression can be used in the following use cases:
Multi-device content delivery - If video content is distributed across different platforms and devices, the videos can be adapted to the specific resolutions and bitrates required, ensuring the content is optimally displayed and performs well regardless of the specific platform.
Video advertisements - Video ads can be converted and optimized for various advertising channels and ad placements, such as mobile ads, in-app ads, desktop ads, etc.
Responsive web design - Videos can be adjusted to match the breakpoints in a responsive design, which guarantees that they are appropriately displayed and offers a consistent user experience across different screen sizes.
