Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Use ffmpeg and mp4box to prepare DASH-AVC/264 v1.0 VoD
See my DASH-IF presentation from October, 2014:

1. encode multiple bitrates with keyframe alignment:
ffmpeg -i ~/Movies/5D2_Portrait.MOV -s 1280x720 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1450k -bf 2 \
-g 90 -sc_threshold 0 -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 96k -ar 32000 out.mp4
My input was 30 fps = 3000 ms. If it were 29.97, then a GOP size of 90 frames will yield a base segment
size of 3003 milliseconds. You can make the segment size some multiple of this, e.g.: 6006, 9009, 12012.
