The Transcoding page is where all of the magic happens. Users can drag and drop files, while power users can link up cloud data storage from (aws, google and oracle clouds), use curl and or api calls to batch their high volume jobs.
Once your free trial expires you can add a credit card and we will only bill you in increments of $20 (twenty) US dollars or your outstanding balance at the end of the month.

MP4
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital container format that stores and plays back video and audio content. It's one of the most widely used formats for streaming and playing back videos
online.
- MP4 files typically contain both video and audio streams, which are compressed using various algorithms.
- The format supports multiple tracks (e.g., video, audio, subtitles), making it a versatile container for storing and sharing multimedia content.
- MP4 is widely supported by most devices and platforms, including web browsers, mobile apps, and media players.
TS
Transport Stream file, is a type of digital container format used to store and stream video and audio content. It's a packetized elementary stream (PES) that carries multiple streams of data, including video, audio, and metadata.
- TS files are commonly used in broadcast applications, such as TV streaming or cable transmission.
- They're designed for efficient transmission over networks, using packets with error correction to minimize errors during playback.
- TS files typically contain a combination of MPEG-2 encoded video and audio streams, along with other data like timestamps and synchronization information.
