Submitted videos are transcoded to Flash format so they can be viewed directly in the web browser. Transcoding either occurs locally on the website's server using FFmpeg, or using the paid transcoding service at Blue Droplet Media.
Alternatively, editors can upload video which is already in a suitable format and doesn't need transcoding.
