video encoding (or compression)
Most encoding services provided by videoRx.com are free to members. The following services are provided at no cost upon registration:
- Storage for uploaded video files, up to 5 GB for basic accounts.
- Motion analysis of uploaded video files.
- Creation of Rx Bot or manual presets.
- Submission of preset and source files for an encoding job.
- Full length streaming previews of your encoded output.
When you confirm your member account via e-mail, you receive 10 complimentary credits. More credits can be purchased at the cost of USD$1 per credit. After you encode your source file with a preset and preview the quality of the video, you can decide if you want to purchase the encoded output with credits, or continue to submit encoding jobs until you achieve the quality you need. The credit cost is listed with each encoding job. It’s simple to estimate your cost for encoding on videoRx.com: 1 credit per minute of the source video file’s duration!
Encoded video duration is rounded up to the nearest minute.
If your encoding job creates several video files packaged together for an adaptive bitrate video experience, the cost of the encoded output is the sum of each video included in the package, discounted by 30%. For example, if the adaptive output includes three video files, originating from a source file with a duration of 4 minutes and 45 seconds, each video file’s credit cost is calculated and added together for the final cost:
- Highest resolution: 1280×720, 5 credits
- Second resolution: 960×540, 5 credits
- Third resolution: 640×360, 5 credits
Total credit cost: 15 credits, discounted by 30%: 11 credits.
hosting
Our hosting pricing is changing! We’re no longer use a “view-based” pricing strategy. Our next hosting plans will be based on usage, but not limited to one month. You will be able to “bulk buy” gigabytes (GB) of transfer, and you’ll be notified when your streaming usage is nearly its end so you can replenish your account.
