Webcast Encoding

It is very important to consider the audience and how they connect to the Internet when encoding a Webcast. Most streaming media viewers are able to receive broadband streams, ranging from 200Kbps (kilobits per second) up to 700Kbps and above. In general, a broadband rate of 200-300Kbps is generally appropriate.

OBC provides quality encoding services in either Windows Media Player or Real Player formats. The cost is Cdn $225 per hour of content. For large collections of content, please ask about our bulk rates.

Web development

OBC can create custom web "packaging" for your webcast content - branded players, lobby and registration pages, slides, embedded ads, user surveys - and much more. Learn more at webcast options.
