   Hi All,
   A few questions...
   1. does Mediacore currently offer the ability to encode for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2224/_index.html

   The advantage of http live streaming is that it will adjust for users bandwidth but requires the encoder to segment the stream into "chunks". Apple recommends this for streaming media to IOS devices.

   And #2, is their a max size that we can set in terms of large files. For those of us doing longform we could have 3-4 gig mpg files.

   And #3. I see you can copy files via http or ftp but what if our source volume is mounted on the same instance. can we just copy to mediacore?

   Thanks!

   No.

   I don't think there is a hard limit. You might hit limits of your browser/flash but basically MediaCore can handle big files.

   Not with the base MediaCore available right now. However that should be possible with a little bit of scripting.

   On #3, we're working on an ingestion API that will allow you to import video or audio files in bulk into MediaCore. We don't have a release date for this yet, but it will make it's way into the cloud before it makes it into the open source version.
