Thats the job description taken off the company's site...the past week, 4 particular features (cant say which ones) kept having errors after being "encoded". We came up with different possible solutions which had all failed. Then on friday, a new solution with promising results came through. To verify that the new solution works, you have to watch the entire feature to make sure there's no visual or audio errors. Theres not much time to watch a feature during the week so it has to be done on the weekend.
