If the most important characteristic of encoded video is quality, a simple and certain way to achieve it is through Quality-Defined Variable Bitrate Control (QVBR) which is designed to deliver constant video quality and waste zero bits in the process.
Here’s a brief outline of QVBR’s many benefits:
• Generate consistent, high-quality video for a perfected media experience
• Maintain video quality with fewer bits, saving up to 50% on storage and delivery

Join AWS Elemental for an in-depth, technical discussion of how QVBR works, its advantages, and its uses.

Versioning and localisation plus the need to have content security at all stages today focussing on security during the production process.
International Movie distribution using digital files is a well-oiled machine – and it needs to be with burgeoning movie versions increasing all the time. Some International releases have upwards of 750 different versions to create, package and distribute to the cinema.
