AWS Elemental Reviews

Amazon Elastic Transcoder allows media transcoding in the Cloud. It is designed to be highly scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use by developers and businesses. It can convert (or "transcode") media files directly from their source format to versions that can be played back on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Amazon Elastic Transcoder handles all aspects of the media transcoding process transparently and automatically. You don't need to manage software, hardware scale, performance tuning, or other aspects of transcoding infrastructure. Simply create a transcoding job that specifies the location of your source media files and the way you want it to be transcoded. Amazon Elastic Transcoder provides presets for common output formats. This means you don't have to guess which settings will work best on specific devices. All of these features can be accessed via the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, and service API.
