Create a new encoding job. Sky Encoder provides some very robust preset data that is available for you to use. We also keep a consumable JSON file of data that serves as a great reference for dynamic applications. You can find that file at http://skyencoder.com/js/formats.json

{
	"file": "http://mydomain.com/media/my-source.flv",
	"outputs": [{
		"type": "video",
		"filename": "output-high.mp4",
		"format": "mp4",
		"video_codec": "h264",
		"hint": true
	}],

require './lib/SkyEncoder.php';
$sky = new SkyEncoder('your-secret-key', 'your-api-token');

$resp = $sky->createJob(array(
