"Affordable, flexible transcoding with a solid API"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

Amazon's transcoder is one of their simplest-to-use products but it packs a solid technical punch. It does require some knowledge to configure just right, but there are some sensible defaults as well, so you don't need to dive too deeply into the details if you don't want to. And the integration with S3 makes it super easy to get assets in and out of the transcoder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

The UI can be a little confusing to use at times; if you don't use a default all the way through, sometimes it can take a few test-runs to get your settings dialed in right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great time saver"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

I like that you can create pre-defined templates for transcoding that can be attached to an SNS which notifies the transcoder to kick off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

There's not much not to like. The only thing I would like to see is maybe a more intuitive way to make connections between the transcoder template and the queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Video encoding fully integrated into your AWS workflow"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

I like that Elastic Transcoder is fully integrated into our AWS workflow. And it's FAST. The same AWS credentials I use for S3 work for Elastic Transcoder, so there is less configuration you have to keep track of. Also, it supports all the essential codecs including MP4, WMV, and WEBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Transcoder?

I don't like that Elastic Transcoder doesn't support adaptive bit rate (ABR) encoding. Apple requires HLS when we serve clips from our iOS app. We use AWS MediaEncode also to build our ABR profiles. The problem is we need both services to get everything we need.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
