        • Allow video "start from" or "duration" in sub-second intervals.

          Currently you can specify the start time and duration off a source video in seconds. It'd be great if you could specify those values in times less than a second such as decimals or frames.

            Encoding currently fails on a "+" and "é"
            I am sure there are a lot more which will cause it to fail.

            • on/off Media ID# in output filename

              It would be very useful to have an on/off option appending media ID# to output filename.

                  • Add AAC codec format for Audio selection

                    I need to convert a .mov file to a .3gp but unfortunately, there's no AAC codec format for your Audio selection (only AMR-NB).

                    Your assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter.

                    Thanks,

                        • Add support for custom values for cache-control max-age header when saving encoded output to amazon

                          - files created on amazon s3 have a default max-age= (24 hours). this affects how long they are cached on the user machine and by the cloudfront cdn.

                          - you can get better video load time performance for end users if you set a higher value for the max-age. I'd like to set it to max-age=864000 (10 days) so the video files remain cached on the CDN edge location for a longer period of time.

                          - the way to set the max-age for a file on s3 is including an http header called 'cache-control' when posting the file into s3

                                      • Include Output Format & Destination in GetStatus API Response

                                        The response of the GetStatus API does not include any fields that can help you match the task progress & status up against the requested format or destination. I would recommend you include both the Output format and the destination parameters within the <format> sections for each task.

                                        • Add an aspect ratio flag to the video size options, to allow easy ratio preservation.

                                          When the video options are added, using the preserve aspect ratio flag and *x0 or 0x* works, but having control over the aspect flag and have that intuitively adjust the size based on the dimension entered (width adjusting to heigh, or vice versa)

                                          • Allow duration of logo watermark

                                            Site should allow you to set the duration for the logo watermark (instead of the entire duration).
