Encode speed

The same 4K H.265 encode, on four machines.

Both x264 and x265 scale across every core they are handed, so what decides your morning is the clock a machine can hold for hours on end. A laptop starts throttling from minute nine to protect its fans, while a rack-cooled EPYC node holds full speed from the first frame to the last.

Test job: 90-minute 4K source to H.265, CRF 20, x265 slow preset, CPU encode. Times are indicative and depend on your preset, resolution, bitrate and source codec.

Encoding RDP vs per-minute cloud transcoder vs your laptop

A per-minute cloud transcoder bills for every minute of video and only offers its own fixed presets, while your laptop is free until it becomes the bottleneck and you cannot edit on it during a queue. An Encoding RDP gives you a full workstation on a flat monthly price. The table below compares all three, line by line.

What you get Per-minute transcoder Your own laptop QloudRDP Encoding RDP Best value
What you pay Per minute of output Hardware up front Flat monthly, from $15.99

Which plan do I need

How much CPU does your encode queue need?

The x265 encoder uses every core you give it, and NVMe scratch keeps the write side out of the way so nothing stalls mid-queue. The right plan depends on what you encode and how long your queue runs, so tell us both and we will match the plan that clears it overnight.

“Network latency to my broker's trade execution server dropped from 90 ms on my home internet connection down to single digits on this RDP setup. My automated Expert Advisors haven't missed a trade execution or suffered from slippage ever since I migrated my trading tools over here.”

Encoding RDP FAQ

Encoding RDP questions, answered

Grouped by what editors, streamers and studios actually ask before moving their pipeline across.

No, and this is the main reason people buy one. FFmpeg, HandBrake and Media Encoder run on the remote server, not on your device, so closing Remote Desktop only closes the screen view. Disconnect, shut the laptop, sleep, then reconnect from your phone or another machine and the queue is finished. Nothing about the job depends on your session staying open.

Anything you own a licence for, FFmpeg, HandBrake, StaxRip, MeGUI, Adobe Media Encoder, DaVinci Resolve, MakeMKV, Shutter Encoder, OBS and any custom build or plugin. Full administrator rights mean there is no supported-software list to check against.

For sustained jobs, yes. A laptop throttles within minutes under full load to protect its battery and fans; our EPYC nodes hold their clock speed for the entire queue, so an encode that takes 14 hours on a hot laptop often finishes in 4 hours here even at similar core counts.

Supernova and Supernova Plus are CPU-optimised for x264 and x265 software encoding. If your pipeline needs NVENC or QuickSync hardware acceleration, contact us for a GPU-equipped configuration, we quote these individually based on the card you need.

Cores decide how fast a single job finishes; RAM decides how many jobs can run in parallel. Single 1080p files are comfortable on 4 vCPU and 4 GB, 4K H.265 and daily batches want 4 vCPU and 8 GB, and library-scale conversion benefits from 6 vCPU and 16 GB.

Yes, as long as the plan has the RAM and cores to spare. Queue a batch in the background while you edit in the foreground, or run FFmpeg and Media Encoder side by side, the resources are dedicated to you, not shared with other customers.

Every plan has a 1 Gbps port with unmetered bandwidth, which matters more for encoding than for almost any other workload because you move the file twice. Transfer speed ends up limited by your own connection rather than by us, and there is no traffic bill at the end of a heavy month.

Drag files into the Remote Desktop window, map your local drive so the server sees your folders, download straight from Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer inside the server, or use FTP, rclone and Resilio for large recurring source libraries.

Yes. rclone, the AWS CLI and most CDN upload tools install and run exactly as they would on your own machine, so a finished render can push straight to S3, Backblaze or your CDN origin as the last step of a batch script.

Yes. Your server is a dedicated, isolated instance with its own administrator account, we do not access your files, and your CPU, RAM and storage are never shared with other customers.

Infrastructure-level redundancy protects against hardware failure, and you can create your own snapshots from the client area before a risky change. For irreplaceable client footage we recommend also keeping an independent copy on your own storage or cloud drive.

Your files stay on the server for a short grace period after cancellation so you can retrieve anything you need. We recommend downloading your project files before the subscription ends, since the server is rebuilt for the next customer afterward.

Windows Server 2019 or 2022 suits most people, because HandBrake, StaxRip and the Adobe suite are Windows-first and driver and codec support is simplest there. Linux with root is often the better choice for pure FFmpeg pipelines, scripted batch jobs and headless automation, since there is no desktop competing with the encoder for resources.

Credentials typically arrive within 47 seconds of payment confirming. From there, installing your own licensed software and pulling source footage usually takes around 20 minutes, depending on file sizes and your upload speed.

Yes. Windows Task Scheduler or a Linux cron job can launch FFmpeg, HandBrake or a command-line encode at a set time, so you can queue a batch before bed and check the output in the morning without staying connected.

Yes. vCPU, RAM and NVMe upgrades apply to your existing server in place, so your installed software, watch folders and encode presets stay exactly where they are, no reinstall and no migration.

Yes for editing, preview and most scrubbing work. Remote Desktop streams the screen rather than the GPU, so extremely high-frame-rate playback can feel slightly different to a local monitor, but standard timeline scrubbing and preview are smooth on our network.

Plans start at $15.99 a month for 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 100 GB NVMe, and run to $35.99 a month for 6 vCPU with 16 GB RAM and 200 GB NVMe. Half-yearly and yearly billing take 8% and 20% off respectively, and dedicated encoding nodes up to 32 vCPU are quoted individually.

A per-minute service bills for every second of output and only offers its own presets, so you re-upload source footage for every job and stay boxed into their approved formats. An Encoding RDP is a flat monthly server with full administrator rights, install anything, keep your files in place between jobs, and only pay per month, not per minute.

Credit and debit cards, PayPal, UPI and net banking, Perfect Money, Bitcoin and USDT. Every method triggers the same automated provisioning, typically within a minute of payment confirming.

Every Encoding RDP plan carries a published 7-day money-back guarantee, so your first week acts as a paid trial. Request the refund from the client area within seven days of purchase.

Live chat and email support are staffed 24/7 by real engineers, with a median first response under five minutes. If an encode fails or a codec crashes overnight, you can reach a human immediately rather than waiting for business hours.

Your next encode could start in under a minute.
