Easily Convert H264 to MPEG at Encoding.com
Encoding.com supports a host of file formats within the H264 and .mpeg containers. Check out our up to the minute support list for what’s available: http://www.encoding.com/formatsupport/#h264 Through our web uploader, you can push individual files directly to our encoding platform from your local disk, FTP, S3 or Rackspace location. Alternately, you can select a watch folder on your FTP, S3 or Rackspace location to be polled at the time interval of your choice to encode files. Select ‘Encoding Options’ and select ‘Add Task.’ Use the pulldown menu to select the mpeg flavor of your choice. That’s it! You’re ready to use Encoding.com’s platform to compress your videos. H.264, short for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, is a standard for video compression and is poised to become the next standard for format of convergence in the digital video industry now supported by Google / YouTube, Adobe, and Apple iTunes. It contains a number of features that enable it to compress video much more effectively than previous standards, and provides more flexibility for applications across a wide variety of network environments from low bit-rate Internet streaming to HDTV broadcast and Digital Cinema applications with nearly lossless coding. Audio Video Interleave, known as AVI, is a multimedia container format created by Microsoft in 1992. AVI files contain both audio and video data and support synchronous audio-with-video playback. An AVI container can support virtually any compression scheme including Full Frame (uncompressed), Intel Real Time (Indeo), Cinepak, Motion JPEG, Real Video, MPEG-4 and others.
If you're interested in using Encoding.com's platform to convert H264 content into mpeg2 or mpeg4 files, there's a number of ways to achieve that using the options listed below:
+ Use our web UI, located @ http://www.encoding.com/login, to create a Watch Folder and turn an entire folder of H264 source content into mpeg2 or mpeg4 files. Watch Folders can exist on Amazon S3, Rackspace CloudFiles or your own FTP site.
+ Upload a single H264 file using our 'Add Media' feature in the web UI. Select 'Add Task' and add an mpeg2 or mpeg4 preset. As with Watch Folders, 'Add Media' can download video from Amazon S3, Rackspace CloudFiles, FTP sites or your local drive / network.
+ Implement our powerful API to submit your H264 source content and create an mpeg2 or mpeg4 output in a snap. Sample XMLs below:
