HLS/DASH Streaming Packager

Package videos for web streaming. Generate HLS playlists and DASH manifests with multiple quality variants.

Create a .m3u8 playlist and segments.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -f hls -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 0 output.m3u8

Note:Creates 10-second segments. -hls_list_size 0 includes all segments in the playlist (required for VOD).

One large .ts file with byte ranges.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -f hls -hls_time 10 -hls_flags single_file output.m3u8

Note:Instead of hundreds of small files, creates one output.ts and uses byte ranges in the .m3u8 playlist. Easier to manage.
