I am currently in search of a tool that possesses the capability to seamlessly convert an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) manifest to an MPD (MPEG-DASH Presentation Description) manifest.
the tool should offer customization choices. It should also offer a dependable solution for content producers and streaming service providers that want to reach a wider audience.
Can anyone from the community help me to find the tool?
Hey Reena!
There is a tool called MP4Box that provides the ability to re-package HLS video into MPEG-DASH video.
But in my experience, I found MP4Box is a hard tool to deal with.
Oops! Any other suggestion or platform which is easy to use?
You can use FFmpeg, you just have to take the HLS URL as an input and map all the streams that you need in your MPEG-DASH with -map option and output dash format. Consider following the FFmpeg command as an example.
ffmpeg -i hls_url -map 0:v:0 -map 0:v:1 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:1 -c copy -adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=v id=1,streams=a" -f dash output.mpd
Let me try this and will come back here if I need help.
Sure!
We are happy to help you.
