Creating HLS and MPD files for adaptive streaming
I am completely new to video hosting and now adaptive media streaming. I am currently just hosting a .mp4 file and .webm file of Amazon S3 and playing them in a element (native browser players). Now customers in Australia are reporting having issues playing the files. We are now utilizing Cloudfront so hopefully, that helps but now I'm hearing about Adaptive Media Streaming. What are the best practices for hosting video files and how do I start using Adaptive Media Streaming?
I am willing to create the variable mp4 and webm files in Adobe Media Encoder to start but I don't know how to create the mpd and hls files.
Please help! Thank you!

If you want to stick with AWS directly you can find a detailed tutorial on their new Media Services here:
- https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/streaming/
These are essentially building blocks that allow you transcode your original video into the different bit rates required, and then package it for HLS and/or MPEG-DASH depending on the client requesting the video.
One thing to note is that there are separate workflows for Live and VOD content - I think your use case is VOD, i.e. not a live stream, so that will be the one for you to look at - it is the flow using MediaConvert.
There are also other solutions which will run in the AWS cloud an provide ABR packaged streams - for example BitMovin's cloud encoding service: https://bitmovin.com/encoding-service/, or you could use an open source video streaming platform like GStreamer or a commercial package like adobe as you suggest and do it yourself, although you should be aware it is a complex domain.
