We were looking for a SaaS based encoding solution that would deliver the cost structure of the cloud, support Amazon's Cloudfront CDN service, and encoding to the exacting specifications of Apple's iOS platform.  After evaluating several platforms and vendors, we selected  Zencoder as providing the best overall solution.  -Jon Brendsel, VP of Products, PBS
