We've been working on, and will soon be adding a "_cores" keyword argument to allow users to choose the number of cores their processes can utilize. @Soroush
Good point. We’ve been working on, and will soon be adding a “_cores” keyword argument to allow users to choose the number of cores their processes can utilize.

We've decided to charge our users only for the exact number of milliseconds they use on our service--no rounding to the hour. We can do this because our servers are multi-tenant: When user A's encoding task is finished, we can put user B's computational task on the same server. @Greg

We'll get an official list up soon detailing all the binary executables we have pre-installed (ffmpeg), as well as what features they have (video & audio codecs, and container formats). Also, if there are any additional formats/codecs you'd like to use, feel free to file a support ticket, and we'll install it. @Jim

Might need to take that into consideration for realistic cost estimation, as opposed to the one in the text. Very good writeup, otherwise! Thanks!
