Enable User Generated Content (UGC)
Capabilities include the ability to ingest and convert to multiple formats and store and manage galleries. The rise in the amount and popularity of User-Generated Content (UGC) provides additional opportunities for organizations to interact, communicate, and engage with their visitors.
Manage and Deliver Video End-to-End
Video Services provides an end-to-end video management and delivery solution, integrated into OpenText product suites that do not require the need for third-party technologies. For instance, many video management solutions require integrations into other transcoding, storage, or delivery technologies to create a complete solution increasing the time, cost, and complexity of implementation. Video Services has native transcoding capabilities included; redundant, reliable, and scalable storage solutions; and global network delivery capabilities, removing any potential integration complexity. In addition to a robust set of out-of- the-box features, Video Services can be customized to meet the specific needs or requirements for each organization.
Handle Simple to Complex Video Requirements
OpenText software integrations, Web-based management interfaces, and Web APIs
Video Services can handle the spectrum of simple to complex video management requirements. OpenText provides custom video management workflows prebuilt into its Enterprise Content Management solutions and also offers a Web-based interface and a rich set of Web APIs to extend all aspects of video ingest, management, transcoding, and delivery. The granular and rich Web API enables distinctive flexibility in the implementation and allows for deep integration into Web applications based on any language.
Changeable formats and templates
Video formats continue to proliferate with no universal standard for video formats today. Video Services understands this complexity and allows customers to create “recipes” for video transcoding that meet the needs of their business. Video Services can ingest a wide range of origin formats and transcode those video assets to most popular online Web, mobile, and portable device formats that are compatible with Media Players used by that organization. Customers can choose from a range of pre-existing recipes for common output formats or customize recipes for specific encoding options to control quality, formats, and compression.
Flexible approach to video players
Video Services has a flexible approach to players. While many video management solutions offer limited customization of the player, Video Services allows customers to have full control.

Embeddable Flash Player – customizable look, feel, branding

Video Sharing (vTags)
In addition, Flash players can be easily customized to have a branded look and feel to enable design consistency within the rest of the customer’s Web experience. More advanced options include taking ownership of the player through the source code or potential integrations into an existing player of the customer’s choosing.
