“For years, LongTail Video has offered its open source JW Player as a free alternative for businesses that don’t want to put their videos on YouTube or pay SaaS-based content management players like Brightcove or Ooyala. But it doesn’t have all the features and functionality they might like — for instance, built in support for Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) adaptive bit-rate protocol. The new version of the JW Player — JW6 — seeks to correct that, while also improving the UI and speeding up playback.”

“With Zencoder you can encode your videos to MP4 and then also repackage those as HLS outputs, through a process we call “transmuxing” (rather than transcoding). Transmuxing will repackage existing MP4 videos into the MPEG TS segments necessary for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), without having to re-encode the video files. Using dependent outputs you can create your H.264 files plus the segmented files all in a single job, producing faster turnaround at lower cost; transmuxed outputs are charged at 1/4 of the cost of encoding.”
