Split-and-Stitch Encoding with incredible speed, quality and scale

Encoding a feature-length film used to take hours, sometimes days. Split-and-stitch encoding changed all of that. By breaking a video file into smaller chunks, encoding them simultaneously across parallel cloud compute resources, and reassembling the final output, Bitmovin’s VOD Encoder can achieve speeds of over 92x real-time, and was the first in the industry to reach 100x.
