What video formats does Open Media Convert support?

Open Media Convert accepts virtually any input format, including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM. Output is a set of MP4 renditions at the quality levels you choose, powered by FFmpeg via SVT Encore. Encore capacity scales automatically to your job volume.

How does AI profile generation work?

Describe your transcoding requirements in plain language — for example, '4K HDR optimised for YouTube upload' — and AI generates an optimised FFmpeg profile automatically. No FFmpeg expertise required.

What is SVT Encore and why does it matter?

SVT Encore is a broadcast-grade transcoding system developed by Sveriges Television (SVT), Sweden's public broadcaster. It has been battle-tested in production for 5+ years by European broadcasters. Being open source means no vendor lock-in.

How does pricing work?

Open Media Convert uses a token-per-encoded-minute pricing model. Encoding draws from your plan's token balance. See the OSC pricing page at osaas.io for current rates.

How does Open Media Convert compare to cloud video APIs like Mux or AWS MediaConvert?

Open Media Convert is built on open-source SVT Encore rather than proprietary technology. Pricing is based on encoded output minutes, drawing from your plan's token balance — no proprietary lock-in charges. The platform scales elastically, with Encore instances starting on demand and shutting down when idle, so you never pay for capacity you are not using. Hosted in Europe for GDPR compliance.
