This is awesome. I personally only use B2 for personal backups but I know my company is looking for storage of 4k media footage.

This makes it more compelling for them :)

Also this opens up the possibility for someone to make a SaaS on video storage and transcoding for great value

Would love to help your company with their storage needs. Feel free to email me: gleb.budman at backblaze

BTW, this person is figuring out how to do transcoding of files their files in B2 as well: https://twitter.com/orlandoferrer/status/981205299532124163

IBM's GPFS+LTFS (tape-based) is also a very low cost way to go on this and a commonly used solution in M&E as well as Geospatial Imagery space (I work in the latter). Assuming you have the facility and staff to run it, of course.
