HLS is a file container format optimized for Apple devices. The container supports H.264/AAC-encoded video/audio and is based on MPEG-2 transport stream (TS). All video delivered to iOS (including AIR for IOS) must use this format.

HDS is a file container format optimized for applications that run in Flash Player. The container also supports H.264/AAC-encoded video/audio and is based on MPEG-4 TS. HDS is not supported on AIR for iOS.
