Video encoding example

Say you have a 150MB video and want to encode it into 3 different formats — Ogg, WebM and MP4:

Step	Charge (for the input + output files)				Total
Ogg 70% assumed compression rate	150MB	+	45MB 30% of 150MB	=	195MB
WebM 60% assumed compression rate	150MB	+	60MB 40% of 150MB	=	210MB
MP4 80% assumed compression rate	150MB	+	30MB 20% of 150MB	=	180MB
					585MB

Discount example

Let‘s say you would like to convert files that have a combined size of 3GB. You have already run a test and calculated that this will mean 4GB of video encoding, 2GB of image resizing, and 2GB of audio encoding per month. You also want to store all uploaded files and encoding results on Amazon S3.

Data	Charged	Total
4GB of video encoding	100%	4GB
2GB of image resizing	100%	2GB
2GB of audio encoding	25%	0.5GB
3GB of storing the original files on S3	10%	0.3GB
8GB of storing all encodings/resizings on S3	0%	0GB
		6.8GB

In this case, you would do best to choose the Startup plan, which comes at $49 with 10GB included and $6 per additional GB.

If you have any questions with regard to pricing or choosing a plan, please don’t hesitate to ask!
