This article explains the storage of the original files uploaded for VOD streaming
An original (video) file is a file you created when recording a video. In contrast to this original file, you can have multiple transcoded renditions with different video codecs or resolutions. These renditions are made from the original file, which forms the upper limit for the transcoding quality.When you upload an original video file to Gcore Video Streaming, it transcodes the file for multiple codecs and resolutions to ensure viewers can watch it regardless of device performance, display resolution, or connection speed.
Gcore Video Streaming deletes the uploaded original files after the transcoding is concluded, so don’t rely on it to back up your originals.
You can find the video by navigating to GcoreCustomer Portal > Streaming > VideoHosting > All Videos and clicking on the video name to access the Video Settings.
