Ask HN: What video hosting service do you use for your video platform?

4 pointsby ratpikalmost 11 years ago
Consider a small business that needs to integrate with a video hosting service that provides API access and the videos to work across all web and mobile devices.

We use Wistia (<a href="http://www.wistia.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wistia.com</a>), and they&#x27;re absolutely fantastic. Lightning fast loading and amazing performance on mobile. Also would recommend checking into Vimeo Pro.

I&#x27;m an engineer on the Zencoder team, which is an API for the transcoding piece of the puzzle. My company (Brightcove) also has a full video CMS product (Video Cloud), but it&#x27;s not really geared towards small businesses.<p>If you want a fairly cheap solution to bootstrap that you control, I&#x27;d honestly suggest going the DIY route in terms of hosting &#x2F; playback and use a service like Zencoder to deal with the transcoding. If you go this route and need a player, I also contribute to the Video.js project :)

We use Amazon S3&#x2F;Cloudfront. You could use Amazon Elastic Transcoder to convert the videos into various formats as well, but we use Encoding.com for that purpose.

If you&#x27;re small, Wistia might be a good fit.<p><a href="http://wistia.com/pricing" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wistia.com&#x2F;pricing</a>

My employer uses viddler, but they are medium&#x2F;large and not small (100k-1M downloads per month).
