re Zencoder: thanks for the mostly kind words. We've run a lot of numbers of a few hundred thousand files on representative websites, and we chose that pricing model because it was (1) pretty competitive relative to other options, and (2) it aligns incentives with our customers well.
But we'd love your input, so if you don't mind, I just shot you an email.
- jolan 17y agoThere's definitely some cool applications for this that I hope you get into. For instance, providing format templates, i.e.: - encode multiple resolutions for silverlight's smoothhd streaming and generate the metadata file (http://www.cmstream.net/ http://www.cmstream.net/ used to provide an opensource way to do this but they pulled the src for some reason -- I have a src snapshot if you want) - encode mp4/ogv for use with html5 video players like sublime (http://jilion.com/sublime/video http://jilion.com/sublime/video) - support mp3/ogg for html5 audio - support imaging (like autorotating batches of images based on exif) Pricing does seem a tad expensive. 6cents/minute versus ~9cents/hour for EC2. I'd probably be more likely to build my own solution just because it's cheaper.
