Transcoding and format conversion run locally on hardware we own, priced flat by total file size, not metered per-minute cloud compute billing.
What cloud video conversion actually costs
Cloud video-conversion services typically charge by the gigabyte processed, and using them means uploading potentially hours of footage — training material, recorded calls, raw client footage — to a third party just to change its container or codec.
How this runs instead
Video files are transcoded and converted on hardware we own, as one batch job across however many files and gigabytes you have, priced as a flat tier rather than a metered cloud bill.
Where this breaks down — said plainly
- Very large libraries (multiple terabytes) still take real wall-clock time. The completion report gives you the actual processing timeline, not a marketing one.
- 2 GB per individual file is the hard limit, matching the malware scanner's own ceiling — applies here same as everywhere else on the site.
