Getting high quality video for the Internet is easy: throw bandwidth at it.
Getting high quality video for the Internet at low bandwidth is difficult and this is an area where Big Brains For Rent excels, not only as an encoding service, but also to develop systems (and where necessary technologies) to automate encoding workflow for large scale needs.
Big Brains For Rent has available a broad selection of the latest encoding tools that can be brought to bear on any encoding need. Big Brains For Rent recommends H.264/MP4 for most distribution needs, but is equally comfortable working with Flash 8/9 (On2 VP6) and Windows Media where they are a more appropriate deliverable. We have the expertise to get the best encoded quality from any footage by combining appropriate pre-processing with the best encoding tool for the output format.
Big Brains For Rent can advise clients on the most suitable format for their distribution needs.
A sampling of Big Brains For Rent encoding clients would include:
Most large-scale encoding needs require automation of the workflow. This is an area where Big Brains For Rent brings considerable expertise and experience using a combination of software features, AppleScript and Watch folders to completely, or substantially, automate the encoding process after determining optimal pre-processing and encoding settings for each need.
Big Brains For Rent created automated workflow for eTV on Demand and Wildfresh as well as the fully automated Intellicaster.
Big Brains For Rent's Philip Hodgetts has presented on encoding topics at NAB Post Production (2001 - 2006), Streaming Media East, Streaming Media West and other conferences.
