I tried to upload a video to my profile and received a “Transcoding Error” message. What does that mean?
There are many factors that will prevent a video to not be properly uploaded or “transcoded” to the site. Generally, the problems fall into two categories. The first category deals with inherent problems with the video file itself. In these cases, the video is created with a codec that DMI does not support. DMI supports the most popular codecs on the Internet today, but many companies, especially consumer electronics manufacturers and small video editing software companies, create custom codecs that are optimized for their hardware and/or software, but not recognized by the general marketplace. What is even more confusing to the consumer is that these videos with the custom codecs may have the file extension of popular video formats such as AVI or MOV, but are not really compliant to the file format standard. The second category of video problems tends to be a result of user intervention. For example, videos that were created as one file format with a certain file extension such as MPE
