🚧

Compatability

For now Ludicrous Mode is supported for advanced_hls, fmp4_hls, advanced_dash, advanced_fmp4, mp4, adaptive_intermediate*, and mainconcept_mxf output formats.

Also, you can use closed_captions output format in media with Ludicrous Mode.

If ludicrous mode is requested for a format the encoding or other processing engine cannot support, the API will return an error message.
