What can I use to encode my videos to the correct bitrate?
It's important all your video files be in the same format, sample and bitrate to ensure a smooth transition between them. This goes for your live streams as well since Media CP will seamlessly switch from auto VJ to live and back without the viewer having to reload their players or take any actions.
With Media CP, you'll want to ensure all videos are encoded at the correct bitrate. If your stream package has a bitrate of 2048Kbs, you should encode your MPEGs a little lower (1500Kbs-1900Kbs), and the max bitrate should be set to 2000Kbs. Hired Hosting offers TV packages that range from 2K to 8K and even beyond with Media CP TV Dedicated Clouds
