MP4 to HLS conversion FAQ

  • What exactly is HLS and why would I convert my videos to this format?

    HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) isn't a single file format but rather a streaming protocol developed by Apple. Converting to HLS creates a set of files: a master playlist (.m3u8) and multiple video segments in various quality levels. This approach enables adaptive streaming - viewers automatically receive the highest quality their internet connection can handle in real-time, and the stream adjusts if their connection speed changes. HLS conversion is essential if you're creating content for websites, apps, or platforms where smooth streaming across different devices and connection speeds is critical.
