Video Transcoding and Streaming

We have developed a powerful transcoding application for one of our clients that plays a crucial role in adaptive streaming workflows for video content. Our application efficiently converts encoded digital files into formats that better meet the needs of both hardware and audience preferences, ensuring a seamless viewing experience.

Technology Stack

Our transcoding application is built on a robust technology stack, including:

• Operating Systems: Windows/Linux
• Programming Languages: Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
• Framework: FFMPEG

FFMPEG is the backbone of our transcoding process, enabling us to handle a wide range of video formats and perform complex encoding tasks efficiently.

Our Use Case

In our specific implementation, we utilized transcoding to deliver adaptive bitrate streams to clients. Our application provides the following features:

• Multiple Resolutions: Options for 720p, 480p, and 144p video resolutions.
• Variable Frame Rates: Support for different frame rates, including 30 FPS and 15 FPS.
• Adaptive Bitrate Streaming: Automatically adjusts video quality based on the viewer’s internet connection.
• Supported Formats: Transcoding capabilities for HLS, MP4, and DASH video formats.

Real-World Applications

Transcoding is heavily utilized in various sectors, particularly in traditional film and video production. Common use cases include:

• Creating Proxy Files: Down-resing files captured with cameras to create lower resolution, smaller-sized proxy files for quick editing.
• Final Delivery Formats: Transcoding high-quality finished videos from editing formats (e.g., Apple ProRes) to delivery formats (e.g., H.264).
• Adaptive Streaming: Enabling adaptive bitrate streaming that adjusts video quality based on the viewer’s bandwidth.
