As you're starting a new service, why bog yourself down building an infrastructure using tools about which you know very little? Your time would be better spent building your business until it takes off, then start investing in beefing up your infrastructure.

For a ready-built streaming infrastructure you might want to consider Vimeo Pro. We find it a very cost effective alternative to a generic CDN for less than 250k views p.a.
