Transcoder is an audio/video transcoding service for any WordPress website. Once this plugin is set up and a license key added, it will automatically intercept any uploaded audio/video files and convert them to a web-friendly format (mp3/mp4) via our Transcoder service. This eliminates the need for a dedicated media node - no fiddling with installation, managing dependencies or renting servers.
