I am trying to use s3 and / or cloudfront to host some video files that will be served up using HTML 5. <br />
<br />
The videos load fine (to start with), but the native players in IE, Chrome, and Firefox seem to be unable to buffer the videos well enough to keep them playing correctly.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought the quality was rendered too high, but now the 10 minute videos are only 78 MB each (on average) with a bitrate of .7Mbps. Well below the YouTube threshold. <br />
<br />
So, I tried downloading them directly with wget (command line downloader) and they are coming in at a mere 98KB/s. That's just not fast enough for video, and it seems WAY too slow for Amazon CloudFront / S3. The whole point of using a CDN is to be able to accomodate tens, hundreds, or thousands of concurrent connections...<br />
<br />
Is there a setting I need to change in Amazon?<br />
<br />
Here's an example video:<br />

and it's MP4 equivalent:<br />

Thanks in advance....

Amazon s3 / Cloudfront slow?

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
