Live streaming with HTML5

This document contains collected notes regarding html5 live streaming approaches. I'm trying to understand how to build a system that enables streaming of live video to HTML5 clients. Following content is mainly centered around MPEG-DASH - modern way of dealing with given needs.

Approach 1

To prepare movie.avi from MPEG-DASH streaming we will execute following ffmpeg commands:

> ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 1500k -maxrate 1500k -bufsize 3000k -vf "scale=-1:720" movie-720.mp4
> ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 800k -maxrate 800k -bufsize 1600k -vf "scale=-1:540" movie-540.mp4
> ffmpeg -y -i movie.avi -an -c:v libx264 -x264opts 'keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut' -b:v 400k -maxrate 400k -bufsize 800k -vf "scale=-1:360" movie-360.mp4

Converting mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg

Essentially just copy the existing video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business!

The easiest way to "convert" MKV to MP4, is to copy the existing video and audio streams and place them into a new container. This avoids any encoding task and hence no quality will be lost, it is also a fairly quick process and requires very little CPU power. The main factor is disk read/write speed.

With ffmpeg this can be achieved with -c copy. Older examples may use -vcodec copy -acodec copy which does the same thing.

These examples assume ffmpeg is in your PATH. If not just substitute with the full path to your ffmpeg binary.
