Preparing VoD Content

Prepare the original content

To prepare VoD content, the original content must be in one of the following containers: MKV, TS, MP4. The correspondence of containers to supported codecs is given in the table:

Container

Audio Codec

MKV

AAC

TS

H.262, H.264, H.265

AAC, AC3, MP3, DTS

MP4/ISO BMFF

H.264

DTS

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.
