> Streaming a library of 500 GB of HD videos over the course of one month with approximately 72,000 minutes of viewing time to a global market.
> Storage: $6.00 - Storage costs are based on 1,200 minutes of video content at $5 per 1,000 minutes stored.
- robertlagrant 4y agoAh! I see. Could this be because they pre-transcode to different bitrates, and have to store each version?
- chrismorgan 4y agoI considered that possibility, but decided the wording is fairly clearly referring to pre-transcoding library size (“500 GB of HD videos”). On reflection, it’s possible that there was a miscommunication that led to this wording, since if it were the post-transcoding figure it wouldn’t be outlandish for something like VP9/H.264/AV1 at 1080p/720p/480p/360p, though it’d still be on the high side.
- robertlagrant 4y agoYeah, that's what I'm wondering. They might also just be being conservative with the number of minutes, in case people upload massive bitrate videos. Genuine question - what would they gain by making the storage low for the amount of video? I can't figure it out.
