Transcoding is the process of converting from one video format to another. The software has built-in support for all common browser plugins on all platforms. However, only h.264 files reliably play across all platforms. FLV files also play across most platforms. If you set up one of the three methods of transcoding below, the software will ask the transcoding service to convert all non-websafe files (everything except <kbd>mp3</kbd>, <kbd>mp4</kbd> [assumed to be properly encoded h.264 video with mp3 sound track, in an mp4 container], <kbd>webm</kbd>, and <kbd>flv</kbd>). You don't <em>need</em> to set up transcoding, it can be hard, or have a cost, and won't work on all servers – an alternative is to simply educate your users to only upload properly encoded MP4/h.264-video/mp3-audio files, although understand exactly what this entails and explaining it is a problem in itself.

Fill this in if you want to allow transcoding using a copy of FFMPEG installed on the server, immediately after upload. Provide the path to the <kbd>ffmpeg</kbd> tool, with a trailing slash. E.g. <kbd>/usr/bin/</kbd>. FFMPEG is very unreliable, but this is the easiest option to set up.

The URL to an install of the ocProducts transcoding server, which is available as an addon. However, it is highly recommended that you do not use this (it uses FFMPEG which is very unreliable), and you use zencoder instead. It is better than the simple “FFMPEG path” option as transcoding requests are properly queued, ensuring a smooth running service.
