    Overview

    Better quality, lower bandwidth - Streaming video often requires compromises between quality and cost. With our proprietary Per Title, Per Shot, and Multiple Pass encoding, we remove that headache by delivering the best possible quality video file at the lowest possible bit rate, reducing your CDN and storage costs while maintaining an optimal viewing experience for your users.

    Make content available rapidly - Viewers should not wait for your files to finish encoding. The Bitmovin distributed split and stitch architecture ensures VOD assets are turned around quickly and seamlessly so you can get to what you do best: delivering great content.

    Multi codec support - Encode your files easily as the Bitmovin VOD Encoder supports multiple codecs such as AV1, VP9, HEVC (H.265), H.264, and even legacy codecs, helping you ensure your content can always be made available. Additionally, improve content quality through multi HDR with Dolby Vision.

    Content security - Keep your content protected and traceable with integrations for over 15 multi-DRM and watermarking providers, enabling you to deliver video cost-effectively and securely at a resolution of up to 8K ultra-high definition (UHD).

    Simplified streaming - Delivering the best video bitrate profile for your content can be overwhelming. With the Bitmovin Simple Encoding API, smart presets and code examples get you up and running with the power to build and support the most simple to the most complex workflows.

    Scale easily - The Bitmovin Video Encoder was built to scale. You will never have to worry about peaks and valleys in usage or spinning up new servers.

    Deployment Methods:

    Cloud Connect With the Bitmovin Cloud Connect capability, you and your streaming platform have a highly customizable option to leverage the Bitmovin VOD Encoder within your own cloud infrastructure on AWS. This service processes all VOD encoding within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment, significantly enhancing data privacy and security and helping to reduce overall costs.

    Additionally, Cloud Connect is advantageous for you since you have predefined cloud credits, helping you manage costs effectively and utilize the resources that you already have. Using the Spot Instances offered by Amazon and customized cloud hosting deals further helps you cut expenses while maintaining high encoding efficiency.

    Managed Cloud Utilizing the Bitmovin VOD Encoder within the Bitmovin managed cloud gives you access to a fully managed service designed to simplify your video encoding process by letting Bitmovin handle all aspects of your cloud encoding workflow. This option is perfect for streaming platforms looking for a hands-off approach, allowing them to focus more on content rather than technical intricacies.

    The Bitmovin managed cloud service eliminates the need for direct maintenance of cloud infrastructure, and with the Bitmovin orchestrator, the configuration and management of AWS instances in specific regions can be set up automatically or selected by the user, employing auto-scaling and container provisioning to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.

    - OTT video streaming platforms - eLearning and online education - Online health and fitness classes - Sports clubs, leagues, and federations - Esports - Music and cultural events - News organizations - Internal corporate communications - Public sector and public safety agencies - Digital Publishing - Ecommerce - +More

    Great encoding and exceptional support

    What do you like best about the product?
    Bitmovin excels in delivering high-quality video through their advanced encoding technology. Moreover, Bitmovin's outstanding customer support is prompt, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. Their commitment to innovation keeps them at the forefront of video technology, making them an excellent choice for businesses seeking top-notch video delivery solutions.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While Bitmovin shines in delivering high-quality video and offering excellent customer support, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. Firstly, their documentation could benefit from more practical examples and use cases. While they do provide technical information, having more real-world examples would make it easier for users to implement their services effectively. Additionally, when encountering failed encodes, the error messages provided by Bitmovin could be more informative and detailed. Clearer error messages would greatly aid users in troubleshooting issues and understanding the root causes of the problems, ultimately leading to a smoother user experience. Overall though, I wouldn't say any of these overly detract from what is otherwise a fantastic product.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Bitmovin revolutionizes our video workflow with its vastly simplified architecture, delivering superior encoding quality that noticeably enhances our video content. Time-consuming encodes are now completed in just minutes, optimizing efficiency and productivity. Additionally, Bitmovin grants us access to cutting-edge technologies, like per title encodes and VR support, further elevating the quality and diversity of our video offerings.
