1DAWG launches Dark Outcast, our revolutionary black box.


1Dawg's ground-breaking on-demand video transcoding solution revolutionizes the process of quickly converting video into a multitude of file formats. You instantly gain the ability to serve up video content in multiple formats compatible with mainstream portable media devices such as Ipods, Zunes, and cellular phones. It eliminates the need to store multiple file formats, as 1Dawg literally converts on-demand. 1Dawg allows users to customize resolutions, bitrates, and file types.
Generally, video transcoding is accomplished using multiple process servers operating transcoding software. These servers will transcode the file, store it, and then serve it to the end user. The problem resides with storage. When companies scale and start to support multiple file formats, the disk space required becomes astronomical.  Servers are expensive and take up an exorbitant amount of power and space in data centers.
1Dawg is the first company to unveil on-demand video transcoding. The solution allows for files to be converted as they are sent to the end user, eliminating the need to store the converted file types. This saves enormous amounts of disk space when scaling! Users don't notice a time lapse because 1Dawg's solution can render the new file type much faster than the users ISP can retrieve it.
