We currently use HLS (with Fairplay) & Dash (with Widevine),
In order to reduce our CDN costs we would like to use cmaf but the encryption still looks different :

Fairplay use CBCS and Widevine use CENC
So we won't save our costs...
Widevine seems to support cbcs (https://developers.google.com/widevine/drm/overview#supported_encryption_schemes), Azure Media Service supports Widevine with cbcs ?

Thanks for reaching here! The original intention is to converge to CMAF + CENC, but the reality is converging to CMAF + CBCS. But is this “reality” the future? There is no definitive answer.
Or should AMS add CMAF + CBCS support to adapt to this “reality” so that you like this one can save CDN cost?
Indeed, I think that AMS should add CMAF + CBCS to participate in the convergence initiated by all (included Microsoft, playready client 4.0 support now CBCS)
For example, Amazon support CMAF + CBCS with Widevine for 1 year (packager + encoder)
Thanks for reply! The product group is exploring supporting such a feature, but nothing definite at this point in time.
