VIDEO & AUDIO TRANSCODING
Video and audio transcoding services for broadcasters, streaming platforms, and distributors
When your ProRes 4K master needs to become an H.264 web deliverable, an MXF broadcast file, and a Netflix-spec IMF package all before Monday morning —transcoding isn't optional, it's mission-critical. Our video and audio transcoding services convert every media file into the exact codec, container, resolution, and platform-specific format your recipient requires, with TPN Gold certified processes and 24/7 delivery support.

OVERVIEW
Video and audio transcoding services built for enterprise media delivery
Our video and audio transcoding services help broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, and post-production teams convert media files into any codec, container, resolution, and platform-specific format their operation requires. The hard part is rarely the conversion itself — it is that every recipient wants something slightly different, and a file that fails a platform’s automated ingest check comes back days later as an error code rather than an explanation.
We work with the industry-standard transcoding platforms — FFmpeg, Adobe Media Encoder, Telestream Vantage, AWS MediaConvert, and custom pipeline integrations. Support for every professional codec — ProRes, DNxHD, XDCAM, H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, JPEG2000, IMF, and platform-specific formats for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and European broadcasters.
Every transcoding job runs through TPN Gold certified infrastructure with encrypted processing and secure media handling. Chain-of-custody tracking for licensing compliance, technical QC on every output file, and delivery spec validation ensure every transcoded file meets recipient requirements before delivery.
Whether you need a single ProRes to H.264 conversion, weekly broadcast transcoding operations, or continuous streaming platform delivery pipelines — our video and audio transcoding services pair seamlessly with our secure file transfer and file integrity validation workflows. Per-file pricing for standard conversions, project-based for full-catalogue encoding, and framework agreements for ongoing distribution operations.
EDUCATIONAL
How enterprise-grade video and audio transcoding actually works
Transcoding isn’t a simple file conversion. It’s a technical workflow with codec analysis, format compliance, quality control, and delivery validation built in. Here’s how our video and audio transcoding services convert your media from source to platform-ready deliverable with full technical accuracy.
01
Source Analysis & Delivery Spec Mapping
Every source file is analyzed before encoding starts — codec, container, resolution, frame rate, color space, audio track layout, and loudness. We map that against each recipient's delivery specification, so a Netflix IMF, a BBC MXF, and a web H.264 are planned as one job from one master rather than three separate conversions with three chances to drift apart.
02
Codec Conversion & Format Preparation
FFmpeg, Adobe Media Encoder, or Telestream Vantage handles codec conversion — ProRes to H.264, MXF to IMF, DNxHD to H.265, WAV to AAC. GPU-accelerated processing for time-critical projects, batch processing for high-volume catalogues, and cloud transcoding for scalable delivery operations.
03
Resolution, Bitrate & Color Space Optimization
Upscaling to 4K, downscaling to web-ready 1080p, HDR to SDR conversion, and platform-specific bitrate optimization. Color space transformation (Rec.709, Rec.2020, DCI-P3), frame rate conversion (23.976, 25, 29.97, 60fps), and audio sample rate conversion (48kHz, 96kHz) for every recipient specification.
04
Technical QC & Format Validation
Every transcoded output passes automated technical QC — codec compliance, container integrity, resolution accuracy, audio track configuration, and delivery spec validation. Manual QC by experienced engineers catches issues automation misses — color drift, audio drift, dropped frames, and platform-specific compliance errors.
05
Delivery Package & Distribution
Transcoded files packaged per recipient — IMF packages for Netflix, MXF for broadcasters, MP4 for streaming platforms, DCP for cinema. Metadata attached (title, version, delivery notes), checksums generated, and files handed to secure file transfer or digital content delivery for final distribution.

FAQ
Video and audio transcoding frequently asked questions
Everything broadcasters, streaming platforms, and post-production teams need to know about our video and audio transcoding services.
What are video and audio transcoding services?
Video and audio transcoding services convert media files from one codec, container, or resolution into another — ProRes to H.264, MXF to IMF, WAV to AAC — for broadcasters, streaming platforms, and distributors. Includes platform-specific compliance for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and BBC, with technical QC on every output file.
Which codecs do you support?
Every professional codec — ProRes (422, 4444, HQ), DNxHD, DNxHR, XDCAM HD/EX/IMX, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, AV1, JPEG2000 (for IMF and DCP), and all major audio codecs (WAV, AAC, MP3, AC-3, Dolby Atmos). Container formats include MXF, MOV, MP4, IMF, DCP, and platform-specific packages.
Do you handle platform-specific delivery specs?
Yes — Netflix IMF packages, Amazon Prime Video specifications, Disney+ delivery requirements, BBC iPlayer H.264, EBU broadcast standards, and DPP UK delivery specs. Each output validated against the recipient’s technical delivery requirements before release with automated compliance checks.
Can you convert HDR to SDR (or vice versa)?
Yes — HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG conversion to SDR (Rec.709), and SDR to HDR upmixing with color grading review. Color space transformation between Rec.709, Rec.2020, and DCI-P3 with tone mapping and gamut mapping for broadcast, streaming, and cinema delivery.
Do you handle EBU R128 loudness normalization?
Yes — EBU R128 (-23 LUFS European broadcast standard), ATSC A/85 (-24 LUFS US broadcast), streaming platform loudness targets (-14 LUFS Spotify, -16 LUFS Apple), and podcast standards. Loudness measurement, normalization, and delivery-spec audio processing for every recipient requirement.
What's the difference between H.264 and H.265?
H.264 (AVC) is the industry-standard codec for streaming, broadcast, and web delivery — universally compatible and efficient. H.265 (HEVC) delivers 50% better compression at the same quality, ideal for 4K, 8K, and HDR content, but requires modern playback devices. We encode both based on your target platform and audience.
Can you package IMF for Netflix and DCP for cinema?
Yes — IMF (Interoperable Master Format) packages for Netflix, Amazon Prime, and streaming platforms with JPEG2000 essence, and DCP (Digital Cinema Package) for theatrical release and film festivals. Multi-version packaging with subtitle tracks, dubbed audio, and territory-specific deliverables.
How fast can transcoding be completed?
Transcoding time depends on source length, output count, and codec complexity rather than a fixed rate. A single ProRes to H.264 conversion runs far faster than a full multi-platform package — IMF, broadcast MXF, and a multi-bitrate web ladder — where manual QC on each output is the real time cost, not the encoding. Standard single-format jobs are delivered on a turnaround agreed at booking, with batch and catalogue work scheduled against your pipeline. We confirm a delivery window against your deadline before starting rather than after.
Do you handle multi-bitrate encoding for adaptive streaming?
Yes — adaptive bitrate ladder generation for HLS and MPEG-DASH streaming. Multiple bitrate variants (240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K) encoded from a single master for seamless playback across mobile, tablet, desktop, and TV. Netflix per-title encoding optimization available on request.
What happens if transcoding fails technical QC?
Failed outputs are quarantined and root cause investigated — codec parameter mismatch, source file issues, or delivery spec conflicts. Our engineering team re-configures the transcoding pipeline, re-encodes the file, and re-validates against QC requirements. Delivery-blocking issues escalated with 24/7 support for time-critical projects.
