Video on Demand Now Leverages AWS Elemental MediaConvert QVBR Mode

Posted on: Apr 2, 2019

AWS has updated Video on Demand on AWS, a solution that automatically provisions the AWS services necessary to build a scalable, distributed video-on-demand workflow. The solution now leverages AWS Elemental MediaConvert Quality-Defined Variable Bitrate (QVBR) encoding mode which ensures consistent, high-quality video transcoding with the smallest file size for any type of source video content. With QVBR, the encoder determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify.

The solution deploys AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, AWS Step Functions, AWS Elemental MediaConvert, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon SNS, and Amazon CloudFront. For pricing details, see the pricing webpage for each AWS service you will be using in this solution. To learn more about Video on Demand on AWS, see the solution webpage.
