FAQs

• VOD Media Retention Policy – https://it.cornell.edu/news/video-demand-service-changes-coming-summer

  • Any media that has not been viewed over the last two (2) years will have its “flavors” removed. (Flavors are versions of the video stored in the system to allow smoother streaming of the content at different resolutions and bandwidths.) Removing these flavors can noticeably affect the media’s performance — and may prevent playback altogether.

  • Any media unwatched for four (4) years will be removed completely from the platform.

• Transferring Ownership of VOD media files:

  • By the current owner, this can be done one video at a time: Media Collaboration in Video on Demand | IT@Cornell

  • For bulk transfer, or if the current owner has already left CCE, please start a helpdesk ticket: Cornell IT Video on Demand Request Form - General Support

    • Content is not deleted when someone leaves, although they do lose access to it when their NetID is deactivated. Ownership can still be changed if the original owner has left, but this does require additional approvals (from the Executive Director (ED), Human Resources (HR), and the IT security office).

    • A group email account (EGA) can be set as an owner of VOD content with assistance from CIT. Please start a ticket with your regional Lead IT manager for more information: http://helpdesk.cce.cornell.edu
