# Create VOD 🎬
🇷🇺 Russian README: https://gromlab.ru/vod/create-vod/src/branch/master/README_RU.md
CLI tool to convert videos to DASH and HLS with hardware acceleration (NVENC / Intel QSV / AMD AMF / VAAPI), adaptive streaming, and automatic thumbnails/poster.
**Features:**
- ⚡ Hardware acceleration: auto-detect encoder/decoder (NVENC / Intel QSV / AMD AMF / VAAPI / CPU)
- 🎯 Formats: DASH and HLS (shared segments)
- 📊 Quality profiles: multiple bitrates/FPS (auto or custom)
- 🖼️ Preview: thumbnail sprite + VTT, poster from the first frame
- ⏱️ Progress: per-profile and overall CLI progress bars
## Install
For the CLI to work correctly, FFmpeg and MP4Box must be installed in the system.
```bash
# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg gpac
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install ffmpeg gpac
# macOS
brew install ffmpeg gpac
```
## Quick Start
Before running, make sure `FFmpeg` and `MP4Box` are installed (see Install).
```bash
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4
```
**Output:** In the current directory you'll get:
```
video/
├── manifest.mpd # DASH manifest
├── master.m3u8 # HLS master playlist
├── poster.jpg # Poster frame
├── thumbnails.{jpg,vtt} # Sprite + VTT cues

```
## CLI Usage
```bash
create-vod <input-video> [output-dir] [-r resolutions] [-c codec] [-p poster-timecode] [-e encoder] [-d decoder] [-m]
```

### Examples
```bash
# Default (DASH + HLS, auto profiles)
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4
# Custom output directory
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 ./output
# Selected resolutions
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -r 720,1080,1440
# High FPS
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -r 720@60,1080@60
# Poster from 5th second
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -p 5
# Force CPU encode/decode
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -c h264 -e cpu -d cpu
# Force GPU encode + CPU decode
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -c h264 -e nvenc -d cpu
# Combined parameters
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 ./output -r 720,1080@60,1440@60 -p 00:00:10
# No audio
npx @gromlab/create-vod video.mp4 -m
```
### Supported resolutions
| Resolution | Label | FPS options |
|------------|----------------|------------------|
| `360` | 360p (640×360) | 30, 60, 90, 120 |
| `480` | 480p (854×480) | 30, 60, 90, 120 |
| `720` | 720p (1280×720)| 30, 60, 90, 120 |
| `1080` | 1080p (1920×1080)| 30, 60, 90, 120|
| `1440` | 1440p (2560×1440)| 30, 60, 90, 120|
| `2160` | 2160p (3840×2160)| 30, 60, 90, 120|
High FPS (60/90/120) are generated only if the source supports that FPS.
## Defaults & Automation
- Segment duration: 2 seconds
- Hardware accel: auto-detect best encoder/decoder (GPU if available, else CPU)
- Profiles: auto-selected based on source resolution
- Bitrate: BPP-based dynamic calculation
- Thumbnails: auto sprite (160×90, 1s interval) + VTT
- Poster: first frame (0:00:00, configurable via `-p`)
- Parallel encoding: enabled
- AV1: enabled only if hardware AV1 encoder detected (in auto mode); otherwise stays on H.264
**Requirements:** Node.js ≥18.0.0, FFmpeg, MP4Box (gpac), optional NVIDIA/Intel/AMD GPU for acceleration
