Not a developer but have a question
Trying to get a handle on making a decision for video hosting, encoding and streaming. Was looking at a combination of Amazon Cloud Front with Pandastream. Would using the Dash Media Player make using Pandastream redundant? Since the player scales to different formats would we not have to worry about uploading and encoding videos through Drupal/CMS?
Need to play on IPhones/Ipads as well as standard website.
Thanks...very helpful.
By the way, I enjoyed the screencast. Even a non techi like me could understand it. Thanks for the transparency.
Still attempting to understand how far we need to go to deal with the video content on our website.
If we use the player and encode and upload the videos ourselves then we don't need to deal with something like encode.com or a CDN? What about multiple bit rate streaming?
Would you be able to give an outline of the whole process step by step? In your opinion, what is the ideal set up for serving video content on both the web and mobile devices?
Thanks.

Are you going to be adding the videos to your site yourself? If so, then I would just recommend using the FileField CCK + MediaFront module to display those videos. You can then encode them using Handbrake on your local machine to h264 ( which plays in iPhone and iPad ) and upload them to your site manually.

Let me know if this works for you.
