Understanding DASH and FLV file formats

DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is a streaming protocol that allows high-quality streaming of media content over the internet. It adapts the video quality in real-time based on the user's network conditions, ensuring smooth playback without buffering. DASH files are not traditional video files but rather a collection of segments that are streamed to the user.
