local ffmpeg encoded flavors, no encoding by Kaltura, all done in ffmpeg locally dual pass high quality from master file 'caliber_truck.mov':

Source 1920x1056, 9196 kb/s, 23.98 fps, uploaded flavors are:

Basic/Small 480kbos 640x352

SD/Small 900kbps 640x352

SD/Large 1408kbps 1280x704

HD/720 2354kbps 1280x704

HD/1080 4515kbps 1920x1056

compare with what Kaltura encoded here:

Note that I'd probably drop at least the 900k flavor from the above list. With this upload, there's no 9.5mbps master stored at Kaltura, so even with all these flavors and higher quality, the storage footprint is less than half.
