Shaka Packager is a media packaging tool and SDK for preparing video content for online streaming via DASH and HLS. It supports VOD and live packaging, multiple codecs and containers, and Common Encryption for DRM systems like Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay, and Marlin.

Use cases

package video for DASH and HLS streaming
encrypt media with Widevine DRM
prepare VOD content for adaptive streaming
package live streams with CENC encryption
transmux video between ISO-BMFF, WebM, and MPEG2-TS containers
build a media packaging pipeline for an online video platform

When to choose

you need standards-compliant DASH/HLS packaging with DRM support
you want a free open-source alternative to commercial packagers
you need both VOD and live packaging in one tool
you need broad codec support including AV1, HEVC, and VP9

When to avoid

you need a full video transcoding pipeline rather than packaging
you need a GUI-based media tool
you only need simple HLS segments without encryption
you need player-side functionality rather than server-side packaging
