Media Encoding

--------------

|
Shaka Packager does not do transcoding internally. The contents need to be
|
|
pre-encoded before passing to Shaka Packager.
|
|
|
|
General guidelines of how contents should be encoded
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- Encode multiple bitrates or resolutions of the same content. Shaka Packager
|
|
can then package the content into DASH / HLS formats, allowing different
|
|
bitrates of the content to be served for different network conditions,
|
|
achieving adaptive bitrate streaming.
|
|
- Not a must, but the multibirate content is recommended to have aligned GOPs
|
|
across the different bitrate streams. This makes bitrate switching easier and
|
|
smoother.
|
|
- We recommend setting GOP size to 5s or less. The streams are usually
|
|
switchable only at GOP boundaries. A smaller GOP size results in faster
|
|
switching when network condition changes.
|
|
- In the same stream, the bitrate should be more or less the same in the
|
|
inter-GOP level.
|
|
|
|
Sample commands to generate multi-bitrate content
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Let us say we have a 1080p original content `original.mp4` containing an audio
|
|
track in `AAC` and a video track in `H264`. The frame rate is 24. We want to
|
|
encode the contents into four resolutions: 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p with GOP
|
|
size 72, i.e. 3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
We use `ffmpeg <https://www.ffmpeg.org/>`_ here, which is a common tool used for
|
|
transcoding.
