"Great platform for converting media for VOD streaming"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Elemental MediaConvert?

Highly configurable to suit the needs of virtually any deployment. I like being able to dovetail MediaConvert with Lambda functions to automate our video conversion workflow which is distributed directly to a streaming website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaConvert?

The only gripe I have is that the UI is a little cluttered, but there's a lot of aspects that would make it hard for it not to be. This also goes out the window once/if you start using it with the CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Elemental MediaConvert:

It's a useful product that has extensive interoperability that makes it a good long-term play and gives you lots of room to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Elemental MediaConvert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are responsible for engineering the website for a continuing medical education organization, that generates large volumes of didactic video content that needs to be distributed digitally to their students. This required the ability to automate the encoding of raw video files for HLS and DASH. MediaConvert makes easy work of this by utilizing Lambda functions to watch a source S3 bucket, encode and add the files to a distribution bucket, and fire a hook to make the content available on the site.
