We now offer one-step video encoding presets for all mobile platforms including iPhone / iPad Streaming, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and popular Nokia and Samsung devices.

Basically, we’ve done all the heavy lifting to save you time taking into account specific requirements for each of the mobile operating systems, supported video and audio formats, screen sizes and recommended bitrates.  Additionally, we’ve optimized the settings to ensure that your videos will look great.

You can access the Mobile Made Easy presets via API, Watch Folder, Desktop Application and Web interfaces.   If you’re using the API, here’s the simple code you need to know:

<output>[Output format]</output> with formats including:  3gp, ipod, iphone, ipad, android, appletv, psp, zune, iphone_stream, ipad_stream, etc…

Clive, our goat mascot, and the Encoding.com team would like to welcome two unbelievably cute goats into the world this past week — Fred and Ginger.  See mommy and kid in the photo.  For a truly heartwarming story, read about the birth of Fred and Ginger from our friends at the Itty Bitty Farm in the City.   Who says you can’t run a farm in the middle of San Francisco?

What does this have to do with video encoding?  Nothing.  But it makes Clive happy.

We’ll be heading to Amsterdam for the IBC conference (Sept 9th – 14th) and have decided to host a cocktail party on Friday night, September 10th from 6-9pm.  Please see below for the details.

Gregg and I would love to take the opportunity to meet you in person and get to know you better — over cocktails of course.  Please RSVP to amsterdam@encoding.com to let us know if you’ll be coming.
