MPEG DASH: The File Format of the Future?

 


A common file format for HTTP video delivery will make it much easier to deliever web videos more securely.  Apple has led the way with their proprietary HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) but it is not perfect.

Microsoft is leading the charge with an alternative to HLS called MPEG-DASH. (MPEG-backed Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). With more than 50 companies and 90 experts contributing to MPEG-DASH, it stands a chance.  What is needed is an adaptive-optimized common format that can be delivered via standard web servers, using common encryption.

The Common File Format (CFF) being refered to be based on the Ultraviolet CFF that the DECE (Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem) ublished along with a Common Encryption (CENC) scheme that uses five distinct digital rights management (DRM) schemes in an interoperable manner.
