FFMPEG CONFIGURATION

FFMpeg is a software utility program that allows for uploaded videos to be converted to Flash. Your host must install it on your server before you can enable its use.  If you enable FFMpeg without  it actually being installed on your hosting server, video uploads will fail to work properly.  If you are hosted with us, FFMpeg is already preinstalled.

Ouput quality of video clips

Set the compression level/video quality of uploaded videos.  Good Quality is the default.  We do not recommend setting the quality level higher than this, or it will result in very large file sizes.
