How much does 1 hour of video streaming on Amazon S3 cost?

Not necessarily HD, but just ordinary definition of say 360 or 480 etc?

    It depends on the file size - the resolution in essence does not matter - Of course, higher-resolution videos tend to be larger files, but it also depends on whether you compress your video's file size before uploading it to Amazon S3.

    Look up their pricing structure, you'll see how much they charge for what.

    Trevor is right. its not based on your resolution, but the size of the file and how much data they're streaming for that hour. the pricing strategy should be located on their website.

    Amazon CDN is $0.12 per GB (in United States).

    How much it costs depends on how big your file size is and how many people watch that file. If you have a video that is 100MB in size, if 100 people watched that video, it would be a total of 10,000MB or 10GB.

    Your cost would therefore be: $0.12 x 10 = $1.20

    You can see their pricing chart here:
