I'm trying to set up a service that will output .ismv files for smooth streaming. Currently I'm using the following command to start the transcode:
ffmpeg.exe -i <infile> -movflags frag_keyframe -f ismv <outfile>
As I understand it I don't need to add isml to the movflags because I don't want to stream it but the actual output file.
According to the documentation I already should use the empty_moov and separate_moof flags because I'm using the ismv format. This however does not generate the .ism and .ismc file.
There is a part about smoothstreaming, but if I use -f smoothstreaming ffmpeg won't run.
I did find a win32 binary for ismindex which should generate the manifest files, but when I run it I don't get any useful output.
What are the correct parameters for ffmpeg so that it creates all the files at the same time?
ismindex [-split] [-ismf] [-n basename] [-path-prefix prefix] [-ismc-prefix prefix] [-output dir] file1 [file2] ...
To generate the manifest files you would do:
ismindex -n <basename> input.ismv
The smoothstreaming muxer accepts a directory as output.
ffmpeg [...] -f smoothstreaming <dir>
