This is Brandon from Zencoder. What you're looking for is probably something like Video JS (videojs.com) for video playback. You can just upload an MP4 to S3 and reference it in a player (or the video tag directly, but that has additional issues). Our service is actually used for transcoding the video itself, not delivery. We actually created Video JS to help our customers (and the web at large) with easy, compatible HTML5 playback. If you have any other questions just ask. Thanks.
