Technology

The InstantVideoStreamer is based on the open source software FFMPEG. FFMPEG is transcoding engine which translates one codec to another.

Despite lots of testing we can not guarantee that all video codecs are support because sometimes they are different in their implementation.

Bugs

When you have a video which is on our list and encoding fails please send an email to us.

InstantVideoStreamer suppots unlisted codecs?

That is possible. Thank the people from ffmpeg and send us an email so we can add the codec to our list.

Known problems

The resulting video bitrate can be higher than the one currently supported by FFMPEG. FFMPEG uses VBR and the "failure" depends on the source video. We are working on a solution and will hopefully fix it in a future version.
