Support VP9 in Dynamic Packaging
For 4k and high quality video streaming, compression-efficient codecs like VP9 and HEVC are required. H264 and other old codecs can be used, but they require huge amount of streaming data for 4k streaming.
Currently, H264 and HEVC are the only supported video codecs by Dynamic Packaging. ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/dynamic-packaging-overview#video-codecs-supported-by-dynamic-packaging )
However, lots of devices, including Chrome and new Chromium Edge, are not supporting HEVC due to license and other problems. So it is hard to offer 4k streaming for large portion of devices through Dynamic Packaging.
VP9 is supported by non-Apple devices because it is royalty-free. If Dynamic Packaging supports…8 votes -

allow VTT(subtitles/sprites etc) through (encrypted) Dynamic Packager Locators
if .VTT and Sprite.JPG files are put in the same directory as content; an un-encrypted locator will pass them through simply by replacing the manifest.ism file with the chosen URI. BUT. As soon as you apply encryption to that Locator that functionality appears to cease. Meaning you have to choose between 'encryption' / 'accessibility' or 'complexity' ... it would be great if encrypted locators behaved the same as un-encrypted from a subtitle and scroll sprite perspective. (unless I'm just doing it wrong :) )

Provide a mechanism for setting the HLS Segment size on VOD
Currently Azure live video provides a mechanism to set the HLS segment size to something other than the default Apple recommendation of 10 seconds. Providing a similar mechanism for VOD is important for fine grain video extraction and camera angle switching. When each request for video requires a full 10 seconds of video to be downloaded, it makes it very difficult to leverage some of the more advanced functionality of HLS. For example, if you generate a manifest that assembles a set of 10 two second video clips into one stream, you have to send the user 100 seconds of…
