Package for delivery

Delivery turns a source into a folder ready for a player, CDN, or handoff. It uses FFmpeg for transcoding and packaging, and records the run as a job.

Pick a delivery type

• HLS creates a master playlist and media playlists.
• DASH creates an MPD and its media segments.
• HLS + DASH creates both manifests from a shared set of outputs.
• Progressive download writes one or more complete MP4 files.

Choose a quick-start preset or configure the package directly.

Build a rendition ladder

Add the resolutions and bitrates the service needs. Each rendition can have its own dimensions and bitrate, while the package shares its video codec, audio codec, segment duration, and playlist profile. Built-in sizes range from 240p through 4K, and custom dimensions are available.

For adaptive delivery, make each step meaningfully different from its neighbors and keep the source aspect ratio unless the destination explicitly requires a different frame.

Segments and playlists

Set the segment duration and choose the VOD, live, on-demand, or live DASH profile that matches the destination. Shorter segments can reduce switching latency at the cost of more requests and manifest entries.

Content protection

HLS output can use AES-128 segment encryption with a key-delivery URL and an optional rotation interval. Keep the key and delivery service outside the public output folder. This option encrypts segments; it is not a DRM license service.

Run and review

Choose an output folder and press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. The job detail shows each stage and the full FFmpeg log. When packaging finishes, open the generated manifest in Video Commander and validate it before publishing the folder.
