What are the output codecs and container formats? Is it just me or is this information conspicuously missing?

  Hi ripb. Yep, our sales site needs a page that covers this. If you sign up and play around with the API, you'll see this info. At the moment, we do: Input: just about everything Output: H.264 video, AAC audio, and MP3 audio, in a MP4 or Flash 9+ container format. Ogg/vorbis/theora are coming soon, as are a few others that we can't talk about yet. We've decided to take the "narrow" approach for now - 99% of the demand that we see is for these five codecs (H.264, AAC, MP3, Theora, Vorbis). If there's anything in particular that you're looking for, let us know.

    "... a few others that we can't talk about yet." With the On2/Google link this sounds like VP8.

    Do you do the slicing, multiple bitrates & playlists that are needed to play streaming video to i(Phone|Pad) devices?
    • jon_dahl 17y ago
      Soon! It's in the works. In the meantime, we can of course do non-streaming video for iPad/iPhone/etc. (Email us if you're interested in early access to iPhone streaming.)

        The problem with the non-streaming is that Apple doesn't approve apps anymore that do non-streaming over 3G (for over 5 min/10 MB video's). Will email you if I need it tho! Oh, and then a harder one: Could you take a bunch of images & soundtrack file, and render it to a movie?

          Oh, and then a harder one: Could you take a bunch of images & soundtrack file, and render it to a movie? Not at the moment. It's something we're considering at some point, though.
