mDialog Brings In-Browser Encoding and Uploading to High-Res Video

By Raju Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Offering complete social video on-the-go service, mDialog, a company committed to high-resolution social video, has unveiled a new web-based version of its mLoader. mLoader is the only in-browser MPEG-4 h.264 encoding tool available for online video. With the help of Apple (News - Alert) Inc.'s QuickTime video encoding technology, the new mLoader works as a Safari plug-in.

 

From features available with the client-side version, mLoader users derive many benefits which includes computer (Mac/PC) and the living-room (Apple TV), the ability to capture video directly from a camera or by browsing the file from the computer, encoding and uploading of unlimited file size and duration and the option to optimize their video for mobile (iPhone (News - Alert)).

 

Combining the ease of use of a web-based solution with the encoding speed of a client-side app, users install a small Safari plug-in with the web-based version of mLoader. Your video will be available to view and distribute immediately on mDialog once it has completed its encoding/uploading process. The company has also added a collaboration feature to its enhanced social video platform, and streamlined functionality of the website. This allows the user to have easier access to its uploading/encoding, engaging and distributing tools.

 

The additional mLoader features will include batch uploading for multiple videos, with an encoding progress monitor based on file type (including iPhone, web and Apple TV); and in-and-out editing to perform simple trimming of video at the beginning and end, all directly from a web cam or the file itself.

 

For the web-based version of mLoader, users can install a small Safari plug-in, which combines the ease of use of a web-based solution with the encoding speed of a client-side app. Your video can be viewed and distributed immediately on mDialog once mLoader has completed its encoding/uploading process.

 

“The web-based mLoader is a game-changing tool in online video – videos can be encoded and uploaded quickly and easily from anywhere. As we continue to roll out new features around mDialog, our efforts keep coming back to two main goals – making it simple to get great video content online, and helping producers engage audiences and distribute that content in as many ways as possible,” said Greg Philpott, founder and president of mDialog.
