Video Recorder file upload?

Hi @pajay,

The decision of which flavours to transcode the source media into is made by the KDL [Kaltura Decision Layer].
Not all sources can be transcoded into all flavours, that depends on the quality of the source.
In addition, since ABR [Adaptive BitRate] algos are used when serving the entry [we use HLS by default but also support DASH and HDS], the bandwidth conditions, as well as the device requesting the media, also affect the decision of which flavour to serve. This can change during playback, again, based on network conditions.

And, so, bottom line, while you can remove all flavours but one from your transcoding profile, I’d highly advise against that as it may result in a failure to transcode certain entries and also in bad user experience when viewing.

If you want to learn more about the transcoding process, flavours params and conversion profiles, please see:
