Video Streaming: A Complete Guide to Video Delivery: From Network Protocols and Transport to Ingest, HLS, and MPEG-DASH
This checklist covers four lip-sync failure modes in HLS and DASH, the presentationTimeOffset formula, a symptom-to-cause path and why the fix belongs at the packager. Volume 2 covers this layer in depth: segmented delivery with HLS, MPEG-DASH and CMAF, packaging, and the timing budget from encoder to network. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
