Moscow, Russia(28 Aug 2012)
CDNvideo - a content delivery network operator (CDN) in Europe and Russia - has announced the launch of "VOD transcoding on the fly" service, which enable quick and simple transcoding and adaptive streaming of the content.

At this point the necessary fragments are formed in the requested bitrate and are broadcasted to the user and also cached on distributing servers of CDNvideo network. This video delivery mechanism reduces storage and data encryption costs, as it removes the necessity to create and maintain multiple versions of a video file, corresponding to different bit rates, said the CDNvideo.
