# THIS SCRIPT CONVERTS EVERY MP4 (IN THE CURRENT FOLDER AND SUBFOLDER) TO A MULTI-BITRATE VIDEO IN MP4-DASH
# For each file "videoname.mp4" it creates a folder "dash_videoname" containing a dash manifest file "stream.mpd" and subfolders containing video segments.
# Explanation:
# Validation tool:

# MDN reference:

# Add the following mime-types (uncommented) to .htaccess:
# AddType video/mp4 m4s
# AddType application/dash+xml mpd
# Use type="application/dash+xml"
# in html when using mp4 as fallback:
# <video data-dashjs-player loop="true" >

# <source src="/walking/walking.mp4" type="video/mp4">
