Mnemonica accepts the most common file types, formats, and codecs on the market, except for OCF (Original Camera Footage).
Uploading to a Screening Room
When you upload to a Screening Room, Mnemonica checks the file properties to verify streaming compliance.
Streaming compliance uses this model:
- Container: MP4
- Codec: H.264
- Audio AAC 192 Kbps
- Overall bitrate: 3 Mbps
- Format: 1080p or lower
If the file properties match this model, Mnemonica takes no action and the file is quickly available in the Room.
If the file does not match one or more parameters of the model, Mnemonica encodes a new proxy. This takes some time, depending on the original file format and duration.
Non-specialized servers may encode clips shorter than 60 seconds. So these clips can have proportionally longer encoding times than longer clips.
How Mnemonica generates proxies
Mnemonica encodes proxies as follows:
- Format: 1080p
- Container: MP4
- Codec: H.264 multi-pass
- Overall bitrate: 3 Mbps
- Audio AAC 192 Kbps
Watermarked versions of the proxies use the same standard.
Mnemonica never encodes files in the Boxes.
