Zencoder, a Brightcove service, provides cloud-based video and audio transcoding software as a service (SaaS).

What is Zencoder?

Zencoder is an API-based online video encoding service. Zencoder converts videos from your website, application, or video library into formats that are compatible with web playback, mobile phone, or any other device you need to support.

Zencoder provides enterprise class video encoding for your application, service or website at a fraction of the cost of maintaining your own transcoding engine.

How do I get started?
