Instructions how to create the media & various renditions in dash etc

[kaihendry]

Would be great if you could please document how I can create my own bucket with my own transcoded videos, assuming say I'm starting from the FCPX output of some huge4k.mov file.

Devil's Advocate here.. Would that not be a question to ask the people who made Dash ??

@WORMSS That would be like asking WHATWG how to build a sample-media-pwa... no? 🤣

No.. It would be like asking the people who made Dash, "How to make media and various renditions in Dash"

Well, I would still prefer to hear how Paul did it. I did catch a glimpse of how he did it in his videos with various ffmpeg invocations.

I'd be happy to provide it. Though I believe @jpmedley is working on documenting all of that good stuff, so it might be better to wait so you get a proper and thorough explanation rather than my hacked-up version!

Any update on this?

Please check out the recently-released Shaka Streamer:

https://github.com/google/shaka-streamer

You provide one config file for the input, one for the encoding pipeline, and optionally a cloud storage bucket (Google or Amazon) to push the output to. It runs FFmpeg to transcode and Shaka Packager to package, optionally encrypt, and write the output manifests (DASH, HLS, or both). No messy command lines, no need to be an FFmpeg expert.

There are many sample configs in the repo, and full docs are available here:

Does this help?
