Deliver the best possible viewing experience on all iOS devices

HTTP Live Streaming is an adaptive bitrate protocol allows players to dynamically adjust video quality based on available bandwidth speeds. With adaptive bitrate technology like HTTP Live Streaming, players automatically adjust video quality based on available bandwidth, giving your users the best possible viewing experience.

Get your video application accepted to the App Store

Apple requires that applications in the App Store use HTTP Live Streaming when publishing video that is longer than 10 minutes or larger than 5 MB. Many app publishers have had their applications removed from the App Store for using single-bitrate MP4 video instead of HLS.

Save up to 12% on your storage and CDN bills with optimized MPEG TS

Zencoder uses optimized MPEG TS segmenting for HTTP Live Streaming when preparing video files for iOS delivery. The result is 10-12% smaller file sizes than other cloud and traditional encodinging providers, meaning instant savings on streaming and storage costs.

Protect your content with AES Encryption

Zencoder offers 128-bit AES Encryption to ensure your content is secure. We can even rotate encryption keys for an added layer of security.

Transmux existing H.264 files for Apple iOS devices

Zencoder can package existing H.264 files into MPEG TS segments for iOS delivery, without having to re-encode the video files.
