      Please add support for special characters in the source media name.
      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.

          • Enable webcam to flv recording for networks that want to do video messaging features

            allow people to record videos direct into the site and it would seem a logical add-on service that you guys could offer

                Hello Sub User fans!

                We’ve recently added a feature that will allow the sub user accounts to log in via http://www.encoding.com/login.

                You can view, add track jobs for each sub user via a seperate login for each account that you have created via the API.

                Though we haven’t completed the outlined wish list, we wanted to mention that you can use our online toolset with each individual account.

                Thanks for voting!

              • 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,
                Yonnas

                  • 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)

                                        I'd like to see more details on the jobs in queue such as:

                                        * origin IP or domain from where that job was sent in
                                        * notification url or email address

                                        Also the layer style info is not very good since I'm unable to copy data from it. Please change it so this information can be displayed more permanently (eg. accordion that opens).

                                        Thanks

                                          This will allow my developers to log on to the encoding.com website and review the detailed encoding queue and status of encodings using their own username (instead of asking for my username).
