With Bitmovin’s new encoding priority setting, you can assign a priority from 0 to 100 to every job that you send to your encoder In most video encoding workflows the encoder will crunch through the queue on a “first in first out” basis. For an enterprise operation that can be overly simple and inflexible, especially…
A.I. Encoding workflow running on a containerized “chunk-based” infrastructure with ML-based machine learning model delivers industries highest quality video encoder. At Bitmovin, we have been known to push the boundaries for exceptional quality in delivering video content. From our efforts as an early mover in the implementation and development of AV1 to our cloud-native solution…
Leveraging microservices and containers to create an advanced, scalable and powerful video encoding service. Video encoding is a complex and compute intensive task which is well suited to leverage the cloud thanks to its ability to quickly scale compute intensive operations. In other words, you can get massive computing power that scales very quickly to…
Now that AV1 has entered its final stage of development and is getting close to finalizing its features, it’s a perfect time to take a closer look at what’s in store for the future of video streaming. With Apple announcing their decision to join the Alliance for Open Media in January, practically all major tech…
In a recent webinar, Bitmovin Product Manager Daniel Hölbling-Inzko spoke with our Developer Experience Manager Kieran Farr about using Per-Title Encoding optimization to achieve 200% better video quality while reducing delivery costs. Publishers and platforms with diverse content libraries have a big challenge – how to encode all this content to optimize for quality without…
It’s already been a busy new year for the Bitmovin team! Since the release of our dashboard last year in September we have been working on features like team management, API key and license name control to make managing your account easier. We added a dashboard overview page so you can easily monitor usage statistics,…
As content providers face increasing viewer expectations, we explore how can publishers deliver premium quality video while still reducing bandwidth consumption? Anyone working in video knows that along with fast startup and avoiding stalls (buffering), video quality is a key factor in satisfying your audience. We at Bitmovin have recently introduced three new ways video…
**Updated in 2021** Apple surprised the video ecosystem in January 2018 by joining the Alliance for Open Media, the consortium standardizing the next-generation video codec AV1. As of 2021, the consortium has made significant improvements to the application and reach of the open standard codec, with at least 11% of Global Video Developers indicating plans…
Adaptation Based on Video Context or “Per-Scene Adaptation”, reduces bandwidth consumption by adjusting the bitrate stream to the minimum bitrate required to maintain perfect visual quality for every segment within your video. Since Netflix began customizing their encoding ladder in order to optimize each of their titles individually, the idea of “Per-Title Encoding” has been…
By encoding your videos using a multi-codec approach you can double the quality while still reducing your bandwidth consumption and maintaining maximum device reach. In the spectrum of online video, you probably already know that H.264 (also known as AVC) is ubiquitous. Nearly every device and operating system supports decoding either on hardware or software….
