[FFmpeg-user] hls vs ssegment

[Young Kim]

Hello, 

I was looking through the ffmpeg manual for ways of segmenting videos for HLS playback, and it seems like there are two ways. One is to use the hls muxer, while the other is to use ssegment. After a bit of testing, I found that the hls muxer and ssegment do not appear to be different if -"codec copy" is specified after the input. Does anyone happen to know if there is a difference between these two methods?

Thanks,
