Frame-type options:
	•	--keyint <integer> (x264)
	•	-g <integer> (FFmpeg)
	•	Keyframe interval, also known as GOP length. This determines the maximum distance between I-frames. Very high GOP lengths will result in slightly more efficient compression, but will make seeking in the video somewhat more difficult. Recommended default: 250

	•	--min-keyint <integer> (x264)
	•	-keyint_min <integer> (FFmpeg) 
	•	Minimum GOP length, the minimum distance between I-frames. Recommended default: 25

	•	--scenecut <integer> (x264)

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

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.

Streaming your Linux desktop to Youtube and Twitch via Nvidia's NVENC and VAAPI:

Considerations to take when live streaming:

The following best practice observations apply when using a hardware-based encoder for live streaming to any platform:

1. Set the buffer size (-bufsize:v) equal to the target bitrate (-b:v). You want to ensure that you're encoding in CBR mode.

2. Set up the encoders as shown:
