Creating dynamic HLS playlist from existing VOD content

Hello,

We have VOD content with duration more than 90 minutes. We are trying to create a single HLS stream for whole 90 minutes and then creating a dynamic playlist (.m3u8) to stream only parts of the 90 minutes HLS stream.

Because of this, we are planning to segment the streams of length 2 seconds instead of standard 10 seconds. We are planning to use Amazon S3/Cloud Front to host our content.

I think there will be lot of GET requests on CDN due to 2 second segment, when compared to 10 second segment. Will there be any performance issues due to this?

IIS Media services/Silverlight smooth streaming is good at this feature!

Thanks for your time!
