Video Encoding & Transcoding — FFmpeg, AWS MediaConvert & Multi-Profile Delivery

Production-quality encoding pipelines for VOD and live. H.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1 profiles tuned for streaming — packaged for HLS and DASH delivery, ready for any CDN.

What We Deliver

Multi-Profile EncodingH.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1 encoding ladders — resolution, bitrate and quality settings optimised per-profile.

FFmpeg Pipeline DesignCustom FFmpeg command sets for batch VOD encoding, GPU acceleration and automated quality control.

AWS MediaConvert WorkflowsCloud VOD encoding jobs via AWS MediaConvert — scalable, serverless and integrated with S3 and CloudFront.

HLS & DASH PackagingSegment and package encoded files into HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd) manifests with CMAF fMP4 segments.

Subtitle & Caption EmbeddingWebVTT, SRT and CEA-608/708 closed captions embedded in HLS and DASH manifests. Multi-language support.

Thumbnail GenerationSprite sheets and per-chapter thumbnails for player seek preview — generated automatically in the pipeline.

Per-Title EncodingContent-adaptive encoding — complex scenes get higher bitrate, static content is compressed harder. Reduces storage cost.

Quality MetricsVMAF, SSIM and PSNR scoring on reference encodes. Objective quality benchmarking before production rollout.

Encoding Process

Source Analysis

Review your source files — codec, bitrate, resolution, frame rate, audio tracks. Identify any format conversion needed before encoding.

Ladder Design

Define rendition profiles based on your target devices, audience bandwidth distribution and storage budget. Choose codec (H.264 / H.265 / AV1).

Encode & Package

Run encoding pipeline (FFmpeg or MediaConvert), package segments, generate manifests, validate with hls.js and dash.js.

QC & Deliver

VMAF quality scoring, playback testing on target devices, then hand over pipeline scripts, config files and encoded output.

Who This Is For

VOD Libraries

Encode large content libraries efficiently. Per-title encoding cuts storage costs while maintaining visual quality across all devices.

Live Broadcasters

Real-time encoding configuration for OBS, Wirecast and hardware encoders — correct keyframe intervals, bitrates and formats for your CDN.

Enterprise & Education

Training video libraries and corporate events that need consistent quality, subtitle support and cost-efficient cloud encoding.
