Transcoding

One of the main obstacles for distributing video on the Internet is the need to adapt the original file formats to the web environment without a loss in quality.

Flumotion's transcoding platform puts an end to the difficulty of this process by offering its clients the option of converting their original multimedia files into assorted optimal formats for playback on the Internet (Flash, Windows Media Video, Ogg, Vorbis, Theora and MP3) and other mobile devices (mobile phones, iPods, MP3 and MP4 players and more).

It also allows for the creation of a single output format from multiple input formats. This is what is done for a multimedia portal with user-generated content (like YouTube).

The client decides what best suits their needs. Flumotion provides the tools for reaching 100% of market users, regardless of what operating system they use, and helps you stand out from your competitors.

This is how the Flumotion platform works:

Callback

With the clients' comfort during the process of managing content publication always in mind, Flumotion has added a callback functionality to its service pack. This functionality allows clients to know the progress of each file being uploaded to the platform at all times, and above all when the transcoding process is complete so they can begin publishing. Flumotion adapts itself in this way to the technology already being used by its clients so they can control their streams and obtain the best results for their users and their business.
