Live Transcoding
Be more efficient with transcoding
Effortlessly transcodeTranscoding is the process of converting a media file or object from one format to another, in order to gain compatibility with another program, application, or device. This is usually required in cases where a specific device does not support the source format or has limited storage capacity that requires a reduced file size or recognizable format.
