On 3rd of August 2015, I got an email from the Bitmovin-video Mr. A*** W***; He asked me if I can test their solution.
Before starting this review, you may be asked what is video compression technologies? and for any reason, it's provided?
As a lot of research paper and IT industry companies talked that in those coming years, "Internet video streaming and downloads are beginning to take a larger share of bandwidth and will grow to more than 80 percent of all consumer Internet traffic by 2020", so companies and big firms, start to invest in compression technology for video, in order to decrease storage costs.
some interesting worldwide event, are organised every year, where you can meet a lot of expert and companies, working in this field; CES and IBC are some of the biggest professionals meetings.
The video compression technology is so important, that's why big firms, involved in a buy rate of successful others companies which have an interesting and top benefit solution, for example during 2015:
This is a screenshot from my email box, I can forward it to your support team.
After received this email, I replied with some questions on their video/cloud solution, but no response from his side.
In those last few days, I returned to this topic because I'm interested in sharing my experience with a companies working on video solution, which I already communicate or tried their compression video as online services, so I start with company, since I received a request from them in order to give my test result over their cloud solution.

So, I sent an email to their support team !!!, BUT on sales@bitmovin.com, because I can't find any contact form or info email address on https://bitmovin.com/contact/.
The only solution, to contact their support team, or at least get the right email address, is when I log in to my account, created in 2015 when I tried to test this video compression cloud solution.
So, I forwarded my email to support@bitmovin, in order to specify my inquiry and getting in touch with the right team, asap.
2. Let's try Bitmovin solutions

The video compression technology is so important, that's why big firms, involved in a buy rate of successful others companies which have an interesting and top benefit solution, for example during 2015:
- July : Microsoft Azure Media Services added support for professional broadcast formats
- September : AWS acquired Elemental technologies and Ericsson acquired Envivio
- October : Microsoft launched a live encoding solution
- December : IBM acquired Clearleap
Google doesn't provide any support for his internal video encoding solution, even when you find that tow popular encoding companies, which use Google cloud platforms to run their services, those are Zencoder and Bitmovin.
So, in simple words, Bitmovin is a company which provide an online video encoding solution, of course with some accessories, such as HTML5 Adaptive Player, or live stream
If you looking to capture your audience with the Highest Quality Video, you can benefit from Bitmovin solutions.
Now, let's enter into this world, and try this solution.

1. on the main window, you can start encoding video, by importing, for example, mkv file from your dropbox, and launch the process.
2. Next, choose "Encoding", then select this mkv file.
3. On the next page, you will see that Bitmovin encoder, detect your file video properties:
On this example:

Same thing for, video encoding qualities : Resolution, Bitrate, profile, quality, Codec
3. Now, you can choose which platforms you want to support
4. Weh the encoding is finished, and email will be sent to you, as a notification, and on the dashboard, you can play the output video, download, show details, or even transfer to your storage cloud.
