To throw in my two cents–
When building on the ArtBabble software for a conservation video project we had
great success with Amazon S3s, definitely a great way to go if you’re
self-hosting. As for the MCA website, we have been using Vimeo for distribution
via an accessible JS player. The player is designed in our visual identity
giving the appearance of native content, and we’ve been quite happy with
affordability and performance (they seem to have gotten through the playback
bugs they suffered from last year).
Best,
Anna

So we don?t manage a museum website but we do manage 1000?s of audio and
video clips at My Tours. We use Amazon s3
<https://aws.amazon.com/s3/?nc2=h_m1> for storage (Backed up to Backblaze B2
<https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html>) and Amazon Elastic
Transcoder <https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/?nc2=h_m1> for
converting the source content into different formats (streaming, HD and SD
download, etc.).
We also use Amazon CloudFront <https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/?nc2=h_m1>
as the CDN to serve it all up. You can hook it all up so that as soon as
you drop the source file into S3 the ElasticTranscoder does its thing so
not a lot of set up required.
