I guess you could just upload all your videos to S3 and serve them over cloudfront.
But Video seems to be tricky because there's the whole idea of encoding, adapting quality (detecting a poor connection and serving a low quality video, etc).
What I chose some time ago was Mux, they had a very good and developer friendly service.
- than3 4y agoAFAIK, the only two good options these days are MPEG Dash (fMP4), or HLS. Bento4 has tools for manipulating the containers depending on your needs, and its not difficult to setup, though you most likely will need to have a certificate and hosting infrastructure setup to allow the player to load the video (i.e. CORS).
- phantomathkg 4y agoUpload your high resolution MP4 to S3, and open it to public only allow them to download. To mimic what Youtube is doing, then yes you will need to transcode it to streamable chunk, in multiple bit rate, and then storage them. Assuming you are not applying your own DRM here. As you can see, this is rather storage intensive and there aren't any free solution on this.
