The Video Conversion Company Makes Video Conversion Easy

The Video Conversion Company (TVCC), a Santa Monica, California-based provider of video encoding services, announced the availability of a new service that makes it easier to upload and convert video files to the Flash format used by all video sharing Web sites, as well as to the formats used by iPods, cell phones and other mobile devices to display videos. The TVCC service can be added to a Web site in less than ten minutes. Neither the user nor the Web designer needs any expertise in video encoding or conversion.

Santa Monica, Calif. (PRWEB) October 30, 2007 -- The Video Conversion Company (TVCC), a Santa Monica, California-based provider of video encoding services, announced the availability of a new service that makes it easier than ever before to upload and convert video files to the Flash format used by all video sharing Web sites, as well as to the formats used by iPods, cell phones and other mobile devices to display videos.

"Many Web sites want to let their users upload and share video files but lack the technical ability and the money to do so," said Todd Shoemack, President of TVCC. "We offer a pay-as-you-go video conversion service that is not only simple to use, but is also within the budget of even the smallest Web site. We don't require the big upfront fees or long term commitments that other encoding services require. You pay only for the videos that are uploaded to your site, whether that is one or one hundred."

The TVCC service can be added to a Web site in less than ten minutes. The site's users can then upload video files using the company's proprietary Flash based uploader with a simple command and without ever leaving the site. The files are automatically converted to the requested formats by TVCC. Neither the user nor the Web designer needs any expertise in video encoding or conversion.

The ease of use of the TVCC service, combined with pay-as-you-go pricing, will bring the powerful visit-generating capabilities of video within the reach of Web sites and Web designers who might otherwise have been intimidated by the concept.

"Many Web designers tend to avoid video because of the difficulties and the cost that it entails," Shoemack said. "Now they'll be able to provide this valuable service to their clients, and provide it in a manner that is completely invisible to the site's users, who will never realize they're dealing with anyone but the site. We also expect Web hosting companies to take advantage of this opportunity to resell the service to their customers."

TVCC also offers an affiliate program that allows customers to earn a commission by referring others to TVCC. "This allows Web sites and hosting companies the opportunity to earn some extra money while providing a beneficial service to their users and clients," Shoemack said.

In the past five years, Web sites that allow users to share videos, either as their main component (such as YouTube) or as a supplementary feature, have skyrocketed in popularity. The uploading and sharing of video files now makes up the single biggest traffic category on the Internet. One company that tracks the popularity of videos uploaded to sharing sites estimates that more than 6 million video files are uploaded each month.

"Internet video has become so popular that we think many Web sites will have to offer video sharing to attract the kind of traffic they need to be successful," Shoemack said. "For those seeking a low cost, easy to use system for converting video files to popular formats for Internet and mobile video, without paying large upfront fees or making a long term financial commitment, TVCC is the solution."

In addition to converting video files to Flash for publishing on a Web site, TVCC also allows the site to convert its users' videos to other formats for downloading to iPods, cell phones, PDAs and other mobile devices.

"Publishing a video on a Web site is one way of sharing it with others," Shoemack explained. "But allowing others to download the video to their iPods, cell phones or other mobile devices is becoming more and more popular as well. YouTube recently added a feature that allows users to display videos on their cell phones, for example. We think a growing number of Web sites will want the capability to allow their users to share videos in this way also, and we can provide that capability."
