Question

I'm trying to transcode the video using aws elastic transcoder but I'm getting a SocketError. I Followed the steps followed in this question: Retrieve file and thumbnail url from AWS Elastic Transcoder job. Please do look into the problem.

Answer 1

The sa-east-1 in your hostname indicates that your target region is São Paulo.

As of now, Elastic Transcoder is not deployed in that AWS region.
