How to Encode your Video Files Properly Before you Upload to the RTMP Server

 

Before uploading your video files, it is highly recommended to transcode them to ensure a consistent transition between video files. Having incorrect codec can cause serious issues with the player, one common error is the warning “The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.” You can read more about it at our blog here.

For most users, it is important to ensure the encoded videos are capped to a maximum bitrate.

We recommend transcoding all files with HandBrake.fr video transcoder before you upload your files.
