Improvements to Audio & Video Transcoding

Over the last few weeks, we’ve kept an eye on the recordings being uploaded to our system that failed to pass through to the other side. Those rare corner cases where for some reason or another the transcoding process failed.

As a result, we’ve now tweaked our transcoding process to properly accept, transcode and report on:

• .mod, .ogv and .qt files
• streamed .flv and .webm files with audio or video tracks that start in the middle of the recording
• pre-existing audio-only recordings uploaded through desktop and mobile
• recordings with no rotation metadata uploaded from mobile devices.
