Per-Title Encoding offers greatly reduced bitrates without compromising (and even increasing) quality. Bitmovin has just released a Benchmark Tool which helps you to optimize your encoding workflow.
In the last decade, the tech industry has rallied around one codec for streaming video files over the internet: MPEG’s AVC/H.264. Now the market is moving toward a new generation of video codecs that offer 30% to 70% better compression than H.264. Is your team ready to transition? Adopting the new generation compression is important…

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…
