Support is also available for MPEG-DASH encrypted with Common Encryption, allowing multiple DRM systems to playback a single source asset. Additionally, in order to facilitate use of the transcoder in professional environments that require licensed, third party codecs and pre/post processing filters, the Ripcode transcoder will include a plug-in framework, that will allow use of best-of-breed codecs and filters.īrightcove now supports transcoding video into the MPEG-DASH format. RGB Networks will release Ripcode Transcoder with only the codecs that can be legally used with open source software. Unlike other open source projects, an open source transcoder is more difficult to release due to built-in professional codec licensing. Linear and VOD transcoding of MPEG2, H.264, H.265, AAC, AC3, and other industry leading video and audio codecs.
Full cluster management, load balancing, and failover. Both Linear (live) and Video on Demand (VOD) transcoding. The intended feature set of the open source Ripcode Transcoder will include: In a pioneering move, and harnessing the industry momentum toward developing cloud-based solutions, RGB Networks is actively welcoming operators and vendors to be part of a community of contributors to the open source project. Huzzah.Ĭalled ‘Ripcode Transcoder’, after the company Ripcode, which was acquired by RGB Networks in 2010 and which originally developed TransAct, the new, cloud-enabled software transcoder will provide RGB Networks’ customers with greater control, integration and flexibility in their video delivery workflows. There is almost nothing here about interesting DRM technology, but there are some warnings that it will introduce yet another way for advertisers to track you. The standard specifies some funky extensions to their DOM/Javascript API, based around cryptographic key management. Your average layman might assume that this refers to media in the general sense (and its oh-so-natural wont for encryption) whereas in fact, it refers very specifically to HTML5's media elements. It's possible to tell what's actually covered by the W3C's draft by carefully examining its title the second word - "media" - is the key. I'll look at what it is, why it's not a great idea, and some implications of its approval, were it to be approved. 
The EME draft is widely talked about as "the DRM standard for HTML5", but this is not truly what it's content covers. Probably the hottest thing the W3C is working on right now is their Encrypted Media Extension Working Draft.
