AWS S3 vs Elemental MediaStore

Question

This is more of a philosophical question:

For a simple video application, which AWS services is the the best to choose, S3 or Elemental MediaStore?

and

And at which point will one be better to an other.

The question is mostly in regards to performance, as I am aware different possibilities in the sdk's.

Background I am making a video website for my company, which will be used for simple instructional videos (screen recordings of how to do stuff in different applications). The videos er mp4 videos made vide iMovie and are around 30s to 1min.

In my website, I see no performance differences for the videos. Would I see a difference if the videos was 4k 1 hour long?

I like using MediaStore simply because it seems more appropriate for videos, but is there any difference?
