[support] Experience with Kaltura?

[Christopher M. Jones]

Thanks for all the input. I'm currently weighing Kaltura against using 
Amazon S3 for storage and something else for transcoding. Video has 
support for S3 and, as you mentioned, Zencoder. I'd rather just plug up 
Kaltura and get on with it, though.

Steve, can you elaborate on what kind of bad experience you had? Was it 
an issue with support? Performance? Code quality? Integration issues? 
... And with what versions of relevant components were you working?
