Question related to video encoding: We are spending quite a bit of money on Amazon ElasticTranscoder for video encoding. Wondering if anyone had experience or advices to selfhost that kind of service? Any project I should consider for a proof of concept?
- trevyn 7y agoA script that calls ffmpeg? What exactly are your needs?
- dodobirdlord 7y agoElastic Transcoder is hilariously expensive. And in traditional Amazon fashion, is just a roundabout way to call ffmpeg. You would almost certainly be better off bundling ffmpeg into a Lambda function, and you would almost certainly be best off with an EC2 instance, two S3 buckets for the input/output, and an SQS work queue.
