Streaming MP4 mpeg4 videos files / AS3 bucket

Question

Is there a way to stream MP4 mpeg4 video files saved in an Amazon S3 bucket?

When I upload the files, it plays only audio without the video image.

(I'm going for this format instead of MP4 H.264 because it compresses videos at a higher resolution and smaller file size)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer

Yes, you can in fact, here's a tutorial on [Hosting video on S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/tutorial-s3-cloudfront-route53-video-streaming.html)

You'll want to setup a CloudFront distribution and access the video from it. You may consider Elemental MediaConvert to transcode the video into an adaptive bitrate stream format more suitable for streaming like CMAF (common media application format) or HLS.
