DVR storage when using HTTP dynamic streaming

Hi,

When using DVR with RTMP streaming the stream could/would be saved as single big file on the server, but when using HTTP streaming the stream will consist of numerous chuncked files; in this case how will the stream get saved, will FMS 4 assemble the chunks? unlikely, will the chunks of stream get saved? in this case I wonder which tool could be used to access it and make VODs of it. What is the exact behaviour of FMS4 when dealing with storage of DVR HTTP streaming?

Thanks

    I would like to correct you here: in HTTP Streaming request are served as chunked files but the recording is big single file considering you have just one segment - if you have given segmentduration then you would have multiple files. I hope this clears your doubts with respect to DVR HTTP Streaming.

    Thanks SE_0208 for the clarification. What about VOD; is it possible to have a single big .f4f file and let HTTP Origin Module extract fragments of it on demand?

    Please forgive my ignorance in this subject, I could not get definitive answer reading the documentation or they require me to grasp more concept than I need for now to get exact asnwer for my question.

    Yes , even for VOD you can have single big .f4f file - you will need to use offline packager to convert your videos files to .f4f.
