1| THE BASICS

Each encoded video contains three parts: Formats, Codecs and Bitrates.

FORMATS

Formats are the file type that is output after the compression. Some common ones are MP4, AVI and MOV.

CODECS

Codecs are algorithms that allow the video to be compressed. Some common video codecs are VP6 or H.264

BITRATES

Bitrates is the amount of data per second. For example, Blueray uses 40 mbit/s while regular DVD uses 5 mbit/s.

2| PROCESS

Video encoding is the process of converting a video so it can work on any

type of platform. You should try to avoid it at all costs by simply shooting in the right

format, but if it is necessary make sure you start with a high quality preferably

uncompressed format.

3| SOFTWARE

There are two main types of encoding solutions: in-house or cloud.

IN-HOUSE

Allows you to manage large files that require a lot of bandwidth quicker than if you had to load it on to a cloud and then encode it.

CLOUD-BASED

Relieve you from having to maintain the encoder software and hardware. Some popular cloud- based software includes Zencoder and Encoding.
