MainConcept also offers powerful transcoding capabilities as part of their Codec Packages. These useful solutions allow coding of the bitstream format from one file to another without a complete decoding and encoding process. The common input streams for transcoding are MPEG-2, H.264/AVC and VC-1, because they have a similar structure. Transcoding jobs can significantly speed up the conversion process.

Transcoding is used in a wide range of markets and areas from the broadcast industry up to professional content creation to optimize the multimedia workflows in the various production environments.
