00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,553
Now let's talk

2
00:00:01,553 --> 00:00:03,580
about Amazon Elastic Transcoder.

3
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:06,280
So Elastic Transcoder is used to convert media files stored

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,970
in Amazon S3 into media files in the format required

5
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:11,570
by consumer playback devices, so phones, et cetera.

6
00:00:11,570 --> 00:00:13,300
So let's take a concrete example.

7
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:14,660
You're going to put a media file,

8
00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:18,000
so, for example, a video, into your Amazon S3 buckets,

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,440
and then you're going to run it

10
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,460
through your transcoding pipeline on Elastic Transcoder,

11
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:25,090
and it's going to convert that video file into a bunch

12
00:00:25,090 --> 00:00:27,400
of different video files that are all going to be put

13
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,690
into an S3 output bucket.

14
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:31,920
And that output bucket is going to have a bunch

15
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,480
of files that are going to be compatible with a wide array

16
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,650
of different devices, such as your smartphones

17
00:00:36,650 --> 00:00:39,030
your tablets, your PC, et cetera, et cetera.

18
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:41,170
So the benefits of using Elastic Transcoder

19
00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:42,490
is that it's easy to use.

20
00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:44,970
It's highly scalable, so the more files you have

21
00:00:44,970 --> 00:00:46,600
in your N3 output bucket,

22
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,900
the more processing power that you're going to have.

23
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,180
It's cost effective because you're only going to pay

24
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:54,140
for the amount of time that your media was being transcoded,

25
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:55,750
and it's fully managed and secure.

26
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,310
You're only going to pay for what you use.

27
00:00:57,310 --> 00:00:58,600
So the idea is that, yes,

28
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,640
it's perfect use case for the cloud.

29
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,860
So you don't need to spend money and money

30
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:05,700
on your EC2 instances to convert your files.

31
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,250
You can just use Elastic Transcoder

32
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:09,540
and just pay what has been consumed.

33
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:10,860
So I hope you liked this lecture.

34
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:12,610
I will see you in the next lecture.
