Transcoding is a digital-to-digital conversion of one type of encoded data (video and audio) to a better compressed encoded format. In this process, an encoded video or audio file decompresses first, is then modified, and then recompressed into multiple format streams, allowing it to deliver videos to a much wider audience. Transcoding ensures that every video, regardless of the format it is captured in, is encoded correctly to allow playback across different devices and platforms.
