VIDEO COMPRESSION REQUIREMENTS:

When a video file is published in the Admin Portal, it does not get automatically set for compression. There are certain requirements that a video file must have in order to be set to be compressed. First of all, there exist two types of transcoding flags: REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED. Here is what sets the following statuses:

For a video to be set REQUIRED, any of the following must be true:

• video file extension is not mp4
• mp4 video compression type is not "h264"
• video audio compression type is not "aac"

For a video to be set RECOMMENDED, any of the following must be true:

• video frame rate is greater than 30 fps
• mp4 has a bitrate greater than 3000kbps (or 5000kbps for 360 video)

Please note that PlayerLync supports file compression up to 2GB in size.  Files over that size we recommend pre-compressing before loading up to PlayerLync.
