What can S3Media Stream™ Do for You?

Joomla Module Joomla Module Joomla 1.5 Native

S3Media Stream has all the features of S3Media Pro and more:

  1. Visitors can jump ahead within a video or audio without the need to wait for it to download.
  2. You can now divide a long video into chapters without the need to break up the video itself. This way, you have the option of serving the video piecemeal to your visitors. Same goes for audio.
  3. Total download weight (megabytes) no longer matters because only the part that is actually viewed is charged to you in bandwidth usage. With progressive download you pay it all, so S3 CloudFront, although it adds to the bill, will compensate in the way streaming works.
