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!

That being said, cloud.files accepts any file-like object with cloud.files.putf and cloud.files.getf. Consequently, with the aid of StringIO, you can store any type of data in cloud.files. Hi Manuel,

Generally, it is best to let PiCloud take care of all function storage (which is done automatically).

That being said, cloud.files accepts any file-like object with cloud.files.putf and cloud.files.getf. Consequently, with the aid of StringIO, you can store any type of data in cloud.files.
