Manage MP4 transcoding profiles

There can be a case, where the provided MPEG-4 encoder profiles are not sufficient. There are ways to add or edit profiles depending on where these are used.

Profiles for server configuration - Store Management / Video Transcoding / Video Encoder Profile

The list of selectable profiles is in <verba installation path>\resources\nodemanager\dropdowns.xml

<dropdowns>
    <category name="transcodingvideo">
        <dropdown name="Profile">
            <item displayname="MPEG-4 (AAC + H.264), Low Definition 176x144 16KHz Mono, 60 kbit/sec">mp4;videoWidth=176;videoHeight=144;videoQuality=0;videoBitrate=36000;audioSampleRate=16000;audioChannels=1;audioBitrate=24000</item>
            ...

An item can be added here using similar format, removed or rearranged if needed. The Verba Web Application Service needs to be restarted after editing the file.

The profiles are stored in the Windows Registry under the following path:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Verba\Web\TranscodeFormatVideoOnlyVideo
