If the source files don’t meet these requirements or you want to prepare adaptive content from the master copy, the content must be pre-transcoded (for example, using ffmpeg).
Convert the content to the required format
Once you have prepared the content with the necessary profiles, you need to prepare the playlists and segment content using the vodconvert utility (if necessary).
Examples of running the vodconvert utility for preparing VoD content can be found here.
