How to obtain single f4f segment file from livepkgr?
We are using Adobe Live Encoder 3.2 and FMS 4.5.2 livepkgr application to encode.
At the end of a 3 hr event, we wish to end up with a single f4v file.
We modified: applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent\Event.xml
<Event>
<EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>3000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>10799000</SegmentDuration>
<DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
<HLS>
<MediaFileDuration>3000</MediaFileDuration>
<SlidingWindowLength>0</SlidingWindowLength>
</HLS>
</Event>
##
To get 1 segment file, we assumed that this can be achieved by setting SegmentDuration to almost 3 hrs (10799000 is almost 3 hrs in ms).
However, in our 1 hr test, livepkgr produced 2 segments.
livestream1Seg191.f4f
livestream1Seg192.f4f
We know that the f4f can converted to f4v by using Adobe’s f4vpp.exe (post processing tool).
Is it possible to get livepkgr to generate 1 segment file?
If not, I see at least 2 options:
1. Using the f4f spec, write a program to read each f4f file to combine them, then feed the single file f4vpp.
2. Convert each f4f to f4v and then combine the f4v files using ffmpeg, but that requires transcoding and processing time.
