bash scripts to create VOD HLS stream with ffmpeg almighty (tested on Linux and OS X)

running:

bash create-vod-hls.sh beach.mkv

will produce:

    beach/
      |- playlist.m3u8
      |- 360p.m3u8
      |- 360p_001.ts
      |- 360p_002.ts
      |- 480p.m3u8
      |- 480p_001.ts
      |- 480p_002.ts
      |- 720p.m3u8
      |- 720p_001.ts
      |- 720p_002.ts
      |- 1080p.m3u8
      |- 1080p_001.ts
