As Google Shutters Flix Cloud Encoding Service, Zencoder (YC W10) Gets A Boost

More power to Zencoder! I integrated their service into a client site a couple of weeks ago and their support is phenomenal. I chatted with one of the guys and he was very helpful. Another Zencoder technician actually emailed me because he noticed that some API callbacks we're errorring out. I was testing from a LAN machine and he was trying to save me some time debugging.<p>Nice to see them moving onwards and upwards.

I submitted this separately but it didn't go anywhere (no big surprise, it has a pretty narrow focus) but if you're interested in integrating Zencoder with a Rails app, the tutorial I published earlier today may be helpful:<p><a href="http://factore.ca/on-the-floor/65-automatically-encode-video-to-html5-formats-with-zencoder" rel="nofollow">http://factore.ca/on-the-floor/65-automatically-encode-video...</a>
