Machine-payable media conversion: $0.05 per video conversion, paid per job in USDC over x402. Live on base mainnet.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Required - there is no default, because every possible one implies a sampling rate you did not ask for. `all` every frame; `every_nth` every Nth decoded frame (needs `n`); `interval` a fixed rate in seconds (needs `fps`, may be below 1); `keyframes` keyframes only (cheap on long sources); `evenly_spaced` N samples across the window (needs `count`); `timestamps` one frame per given second (needs `timestamps`). Every mode is bounded by `maxFrames` (1000): `all` and `interval` on a long source, and `keyframes` on a dense one, can exceed it - the job then fails fast and, being our own limit rather than your mistake, earns the usual retry voucher.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service ffpipe and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=ffpipe' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://ffpipe.dev/v1/frames, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
