VP6 Features

If you choose 'vp6' codec for 'flv' output format, your XML query will differ (less number of parameters are supported, see below):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
    <userid><<id>></userid> <!-- required-->
    <userkey><<key>></userkey> <!-- required-->
    <action>[Action]</action> <!-- required-->
    <format>
        <output>flv</output>
        <video_codec>vp6</video_codec>
        <bitrate></bitrate> <!-- optional -->
        <size></size> <!-- optional -->
        <audio_bitrate>64k</audio_bitrate> <!-- optional -->
        <audio_sample_rate>44100</audio_sample_rate> <!-- optional -->
        <audio_channels_number>2</audio_channels_number> <!-- optional -->
        <framerate></framerate> <!-- optional -->
        <destination></destination> <!-- optional -->
    </format>
</query>

{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>",
        "userkey": "<<key>>",
        "action": "[Action]",
        "format": {
            "output": "flv",
            "video_codec": "vp6",
            "bitrate": "",
            "size": "",
            "audio_bitrate": "64k",
            "audio_sample_rate": "44100",
            "audio_channels_number": "2",
            "framerate": "",
            "destination": ""
        }
    }
}

Note: old-style requests with vp6 are deprecated and will be automatically converted to the new form.

Custom keyframe interval and video splicing added
