London, UK, October 25, 2007 -- Editopia, (www.editopia.com) an open source technology company for the online video market, today announces the release of NCode, a server-side video encoding solution that enables web developers to easily add video upload & flash encoding feature to their websites.

NCode puts the power of video into the hands of smaller websites that have been long overshadowed by big budget heavy hitters. NCode allows webmasters to enable video on their website within minutes. What would normally take weeks, if not months to develop is now readily available with flexible server side features which allow for plug and play support for new codecs, including H.264 & VP6.

NCode is based on open source technology though developers can still count on an outstanding degree of technical support and clear documentation making the installation and integration process easy and hassle free.

NCode supports multiple formats and is entirely cross platform making it potentially the most powerful and cost effective server–side encoding tool available to web developers online. NCode currently supports PHP & Java programming environments. NCode will convert media files from the most commonly used video file formats, including AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, RM, RMVB, H.264, VOB, DivX,DVD,VCD, SVCD, SWF, FFMPEG and more.

“NCode takes the pain out of video encoding allowing developers to integrate this robust transcoding module into their web environments,” said Paul Aitken, Editopia CEO.

“NCode let us get our website live much quicker than any other solution. The fact it was platform agnostic meant it didn't limit our hardware choice and worked the way we work; fast, flexible and dynamically,” said Adrian Sevitz, Vzaar CTO.
