Included Profiles

With the purchase of Tremendum Transcoder you will receive a set of default profiles which covers a wide variety of popular formats for Desktop PCs and Mobile Devices.

HTML5 Video

This format is slowly being adopted by more sites as the support for native video playback in modern browsers allows users to enjoy a rich video playback, without the need to use the always-cpu-eating flash video playback. Sites like YouTube already implemented a nice HTML5 Video support which you can test by disabling your flash plugin and browsing YouTube. The whole experience is far more satisfying specially for users with low-end hardware. An important fact about HTML5 video is that it is royalty-free, and you are not required to pay extra licences / royalties for the use of videos encoded in those formats on your web sites.

Included HTML5 Video Profiles

  • WebM 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p, both in single and multipass modes. WebM is an open and royalty-free media format that is designed for the web. It uses VP8 video codec and Vorbis audio codec.
  • Theora 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p, both in single and multipass modes. Theora is an open source and royalty-free media compression format, and is combined with Vorbis audio codec in a OGG container.

H264 Video

The H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) is a popular video compression codec widely used around the web. This format is commonly used for online video streaming deployed with a Flash player and supported with certain profile restrictions by mobile devices. Many popular sites such as YouTube and Vimeo use h264 encoded videos with ACC audio. However H264 is subject to patent licence royalties and we see companies such as YouTube progressively moving away from the proprietary Flash / H264 combination in favor of the royalty-free HTML5 video formats. If you deliver video to your visitors free of charge, you are exempt of any royalties, however if you deliver H264 encoded video in a Pay-per-View mode or a paid subscription with a total of more than 100,000 members per year basis (about 274 signups per day without renewals), you are subject to pay licence royalties. (About $0.02 per title or 2% of the title price for PPV, and $25,000 and up for sites with more than 100,000 members per year).
