I am implement a proof of concept page with video player that uses DASH. I am having a difficult time getting the video right and I am not sure whether this is an encoding issue or MP4Box issue.
Since I am working on Ubuntu I had to change a few parameters for ffmpeg, but according to what I read this should be fine:
~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -c:a aac -ar 44100 -ac 1 -codec:v libx264 \
-profile:v baseline -level 13 -b:v 2000k video_transcoded.mp4 -i video.mp4
Then to create the MPD I am running this:
MP4Box -dash 10000 -dash-profile live \
-segment-name video_transcoded video_transcoded.mp4
I am getting this response at the end, which might be why no player will play my video:
[DASH] two languages in adaptation set: und will be kept eng will be ignored
DASHing file video_transcoded.mp4
[DASH]: Segment duration variation is higher than the +/- 50% allowed by DASH-IF (min 1.044, max 10.448) - please reconsider encoding
Here is the output of ffmpeg:
