I helped work on howvideo.works, fun to see it helping people! The world of video is, I'd argue, one of those technical spaces that is extremely iceberg-y. You can get decently far enough using S3 + the HTML5 video tag, which I think creates a perception among some that video is just images but a little bigger, but that couldn't be further from the truth. You can really pick just about any step along the video pipeline from production to playback and go as deep for as many years as you'd like.

This is both a semi-shameless plug and probably a few levels deeper than what you're looking for, but I organize a conference for video developers called Demuxed. The YouTube channel[1] has 8 years worth of conference videos about streaming video (and the 9th year is happening in a couple of weeks). The bullet points you mentioned are definitely covered across a few talks, but it's certainly not in any kind of "how to" format.

I'm the writer of the article; I LOVE howvideo.works. It helped me quite a lot when I started working on video processing. I'm still a beginner and always fall back to it when I'm unsure about something fundamental. Thanks for your work. I'll take a look at your YouTube channel.
