The segment filename might contain pre-defined identifiers used with SegmentTemplate
as defined in section 5.3.9.4.4 of the standard. Available identifiers are "$RepresentationID$",
"$Number$", "$Bandwidth$" and "$Time$".
+In addition to the standard identifiers, an ffmpeg-specific "$ext$" identifier is also supported.
+When specified ffmpeg will replace $ext$ in the file name with muxing format's extensions such as mp4, webm etc.,

-@item -single_file_name @var{file_name}
+@item single_file_name @var{file_name}
DASH-templated name to be used for baseURL. Implies @var{single_file} set to "1". In the template, "$ext$" is replaced with the file name extension specific for the segment format.
-@item -init_seg_name @var{init_name}
+@item init_seg_name @var{init_name}
DASH-templated name to used for the initialization segment. Default is "init-stream$RepresentationID$.$ext$". "$ext$" is replaced with the file name extension specific for the segment format.
-@item -media_seg_name @var{segment_name}
+@item media_seg_name @var{segment_name}
DASH-templated name to used for the media segments. Default is "chunk-stream$RepresentationID$-$Number%05d$.$ext$". "$ext$" is replaced with the file name extension specific for the segment format.

+@item hls_playlist @var{hls_playlist}
Generate HLS playlist files as well. The master playlist is generated with the filename master.m3u8.
One media playlist file is generated for each stream with filenames media_0.m3u8, media_1.m3u8, etc.
-@item -streaming @var{streaming}
+@item streaming @var{streaming}
Enable (1) or disable (0) chunk streaming mode of output. In chunk streaming
mode, each frame will be a moof fragment which forms a chunk.
-@item -adaptation_sets @var{adaptation_sets}
+@item adaptation_sets @var{adaptation_sets}
Assign streams to AdaptationSets. Syntax is "id=x,streams=a,b,c id=y,streams=d,e" with x and y being the IDs
of the adaptation sets and a,b,c,d and e are the indices of the mapped streams.
To map all video (or audio) streams to an AdaptationSet, "v" (or "a") can be used as stream identifier instead of IDs.
When no assignment is defined, this defaults to an AdaptationSet for each stream.
-@item -timeout @var{timeout}
+
+Optional syntax is "id=x,descriptor=descriptor_string,streams=a,b,c id=y,streams=d,e" and so on, descriptor is useful to the scheme defined by ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014/Amd.2:2015.
+For example, -adaptation_sets "id=0,descriptor=<SupplementalProperty schemeIdUri=\"urn:mpeg:dash:srd:2014\" value=\"0,0,0,1,1,2,2\"/>,streams=v".

-@item -index_correction @var{index_correction}
+@item index_correction @var{index_correction}
Enable (1) or Disable (0) segment index correction logic. Applicable only when
@var{use_template} is enabled and @var{use_timeline} is disabled.
Typically this logic is needed in live streaming use cases. The network bandwidth
fluctuations are common during long run streaming. Each fluctuation can cause
the segment indexes fall behind the expected real time position.
-@item -format_options @var{options_list}
+@item format_options @var{options_list}
Set container format (mp4/webm) options using a @code{:} separated list of
key=value parameters. Values containing @code{:} special characters must be

+
+@item dash_segment_type @var{dash_segment_type}
Possible values:
+@table @option
@item auto
If this flag is set, the dash segment files format will be selected based on the stream codec. This is the default mode.
@item webm
If this flag is set, the dash segment files will be in in WebM format.
+@end table
-@item -ignore_io_errors @var{ignore_io_errors}
+@item ignore_io_errors @var{ignore_io_errors}

+sub-directory or filename.) If the string %v is present in the directory name, then
sub-directories are created after expanding the directory name pattern. This
