MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming Over HTTP)
MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming Over HTTP) is a flexible bitrate streaming technique. MPEG has developed quite a few extensively used multimedia standards, including MPEG-21, MPEG-7, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. Their newest standard MPEG-DASH, is an effort to resolve the intricacies of media delivery to various devices with an integrated common standard. When media content is delivered from conventional HTTP web servers, MPEG-DASH empowers high quality streaming of these media content over the Internet.
Just like Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) solution, MPEG-DASH can truly split a video file into small HTTP-based file segments before it is set to play through a stream. As a stream is playing, without causing disruption, each of these components can be combined into the stream. Especially, this is suitable to users those are working on a sluggish network, because MPEG-DASH was developed to change up the bit rate delivery for these streams, giving users with a slower internet connection a higher speed rate.
For video content producers, DASH is an amazingly attractive technology. A unique standard which allows them to encrypt once, and then distribute securely to a wide range of players, from desktop through HTML5 or plug-ins to the mobile and OTT. Without any special provisions, it also enables the deployment of the streaming services by utilizing the existing inexpensive and wide-spread Internet set-up. It supports both live streaming and on-demand.
MPEG-DASH also works flawlessly with several DRM solutions, thus protecting the rights of sports and movie producers.
Example: MPEG-DASH is available on Chromecast, Smart TVs, natively on Android through the ExoPlayer, Netflix and YouTube already support MPEG-DASH, and various other MPEG-DASH players are also available.

How AI is Going to Revolutionize Video Delivery
As media libraries expand and viewer demands accelerate, traditional media management methods are struggling to keep pace. In this webinar, we’ll dive into how AI — both today’s practical solutions and tomorrow’s transformative innovations — is going to reshape the way streaming platforms, broadcasters, and enterprises manage, organize, and distribute content across Digital Asset Management (DAM) and Media Asset Management (MAM) systems. This session will give you a clear roadmap for harnessing AI — both current tools and emerging frontiers — to transform your media operations into a faster, smarter, and future-ready ecosystem.
We will also introduce you to Alie – Muvi’s exclusive AI engine that can help streamline your streaming journey across our website and apps.
Things the webinar would cover:
- AI-driven content workflows: Automate captioning, audio-to-text conversion, subtitle translation, and multi-language transcription
- Smart content discovery: Unlock scene-level video search, automated chaptering, and AI-generated metadata
- AI-native content creation: Instantly generate training videos, marketing clips, or explainers directly from documents, URLs, or text prompts
- Agentic AI for media: Explore how autonomous AI agents can manage content ingestion, quality checks, compliance editing, and metadata enrichment
- Next-gen video editing: Use simple prompts to mute, blur, annotate, or clip scenes
- Personalization and localization at scale: Automate dubbing, voice cloning, localized metadata tagging, and audio translation
- Intelligent recommendations: From dynamic playlist curation and personalized ad insertions to predictive analytics
- Next-gen distribution intelligence: Learn how AI optimizes encoding ladders, predicts CDN traffic patterns, suggests smarter storage strategies, and enables dynamic playout based on device and bandwidth conditions.
