Amazon Elastic Transcoder Reviews and details

• AV1 tool to auto compress old video files for archive

  Alternatively, if your Internet connection can handle it, you could upload your videos to a cloud service that processes them for you. For example, Amazon's AWS has a transcoding service called Elastic, which charges 3 cents per minute of video (half of that if it's lower than 720p). Might be worth the reduced time and effort for business use. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Cloud computing noob question(s)!

  If you use https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/ then you don’t need a computer, it’s a managed service, get your files to s3 somehow and thats it. There are some other services from other providers that can do the same too, I strongly encourage to look into that, unless you have specific encoding specs that you can’t do somewhere.

• Where should i compress the video

  However compressing on the server is the better option in case you want to generate gifs, thumbnails, and different sizes and formats of the video. A lot of big video streaming companies will use something like Amazons media convert. Source: over 3 years ago

• Web Services vs APIs

  Web services vary widely in size and scope, from small internal line-of-business apps to large public web APIs. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud are some of the largest public web service providers. Their web services let you do anything from anomaly detection and language translation to video transcoding. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you handle user-generated content in your apps?

  I have played around with AWS Elastic Transcoder: https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/ If video is of interest, I'd definitely take a look at that and see if it meets your needs. It's one of those specialized serverless offerings from AWS that you pay as you use. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
