What is video transcoding?
Video transcoding is defined as the process of converting a video file from one format and codec to another. Codecs (short for CODer/DECoder) compress media files using complex algorithms that remove redundancies, both within frames as well as across consecutive frames.
Video compression is generally considered a computationally intensive process, so it requires a lot of resources to convert a large number of files with unpredictable usage spikes. Qencode uses advanced processing techniques and economies of scale to efficiently and reliably convert video files via their developer friendly API.
On average, transcoding a video takes about 10 minutes for each 10 minutes of video duration, however with Qencode you can often transcode an SD video in 1 minute.
