What it does
GPAC provides multimedia infrastructure for video transcoding, packaging and delivery, with DASH and HLS capabilities.
Its packaging workflow is relevant after encoding, when media must be segmented and described for adaptive playback. The release notes distinguish packaging, encryption and filter changes, which helps a developer identify the component involved in a problem. This is infrastructure for a video system rather than a ready-made streaming catalogue.
Strengths
- Packaging and delivery tools support adaptive-streaming workflows.
