-It creates a MPD manifest file and segment files for each stream.
+This muxer creates an MPD (Media Presentation Description) manifest
+file and segment files for each stream. Segment files are placed in
+the same directory of the MPD manifest file.
+
+The segment filename might contain pre-defined identifiers used in the
+manifest @code{SegmentTemplate} section as defined in section
+5.3.9.4.4 of the standard.
+
+Available identifiers are @code{$RepresentationID$}, @code{$Number$},
+@code{$Bandwidth$}, and @code{$Time$}. In addition to the standard
+identifiers, an ffmpeg-specific @code{$ext$} identifier is also
+supported. When specified, @command{ffmpeg} will replace @code{$ext$}
+in the file name with muxing format's extensions such as @code{mp4},
+@code{webm} etc.
+
+@subsection Options
+@table @option
+@item adaptation_sets @var{adaptation_sets}
+Assign streams to adaptation sets, specified in the MPD manifest
+@code{AdaptationSets} section.
-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.

+An adaptation set contains a set of one or more streams accessed as a
+single subset, e.g. corresponding streams encoded at different size
+selectable by the user depending on the available bandwidth, or to
+different audio streams with a different language.
+Each adaptation set is specified with the syntax:
@example
-ffmpeg -re -i <input> -map 0 -map 0 -c:a libfdk_aac -c:v libx264 \
--b:v:0 800k -b:v:1 300k -s:v:1 320x170 -profile:v:1 baseline \
--profile:v:0 main -bf 1 -keyint_min 120 -g 120 -sc_threshold 0 \
--b_strategy 0 -ar:a:1 22050 -use_timeline 1 -use_template 1 \
--window_size 5 -adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=v id=1,streams=a" \
--f dash /path/to/out.mpd
+id=@var{index},streams=@var{streams}
@end example
+where @var{index} must be a numerical index, and @var{streams} is a
+sequence of @code{,}-separated stream indices. Multiple adaptation
+sets can be specified, separated by spaces.
+
+To map all video (or audio) streams to an adaptation set, @code{v} (or
+@code{a}) can be used as stream identifier instead of IDs.
+
+When no assignment is defined, this defaults to an adaptation set for
+each stream.
+
+The following optional fields can also be specified:
+
@table @option
-@item seg_duration @var{duration}
-Set the segment length in seconds (fractional value can be set). The value is
-treated as average segment duration when @var{use_template} is enabled and
-@var{use_timeline} is disabled and as minimum segment duration for all the other
-use cases.
-@item frag_duration @var{duration}
-Set the length in seconds of fragments within segments (fractional value can be set).
-@item frag_type @var{type}
-Set the type of interval for fragmentation.
-@item window_size @var{size}
-Set the maximum number of segments kept in the manifest.
-@item extra_window_size @var{size}
-Set the maximum number of segments kept outside of the manifest before removing from disk.
-@item remove_at_exit @var{remove}
-Enable (1) or disable (0) removal of all segments when finished.
-@item use_template @var{template}
-Enable (1) or disable (0) use of SegmentTemplate instead of SegmentList.
-@item use_timeline @var{timeline}
-Enable (1) or disable (0) use of SegmentTimeline in SegmentTemplate.
-@item single_file @var{single_file}
-Enable (1) or disable (0) storing all segments in one file, accessed using byte ranges.
-@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}
-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}
-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.

-URL of the page that will return the UTC timestamp in ISO format. Example: "https://time.akamai.com/?iso"
-@item method @var{method}

-HLS master playlist name. Default is "master.m3u8".
-@item streaming @var{streaming}
-Enable (1) or disable (0) chunk streaming mode of output. In chunk streaming

-@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.
+@item descriptor
+Define the descriptor as defined by ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014/Amd.2:2015.
-To map all video (or audio) streams to an AdaptationSet, "v" (or "a") can be used as stream identifier instead of IDs.
+For example:
+@example
+<SupplementalProperty schemeIdUri=\"urn:mpeg:dash:srd:2014\" value=\"0,0,0,1,1,2,2\"/>
+@end example
-When no assignment is defined, this defaults to an AdaptationSet for each stream.
+The descriptor string should be a self-closing XML tag.
-Optional syntax is "id=x,seg_duration=x,frag_duration=x,frag_type=type,descriptor=descriptor_string,streams=a,b,c id=y,seg_duration=y,frag_type=type,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".
-Please note that descriptor string should be a self-closing xml tag.
-seg_duration, frag_duration and frag_type override the global option values for each adaptation set.
-For example, -adaptation_sets "id=0,seg_duration=2,frag_duration=1,frag_type=duration,streams=v id=1,seg_duration=2,frag_type=none,streams=a"
-type_id marks an adaptation set as containing streams meant to be used for Trick Mode for the referenced adaptation set.
