Naming and folder structure followed for watermark preprocessed output

Question
What naming and folder structure should be used for watermark-preprocessed output to integrate with AWS CloudFront?

Answer & Resolution

DASH Output Restructuring
- Video Segment Renaming
  - Prefix all segment files in folder 1 with b.
    Example:
    seg-1.m4s → b.seg-1.m4s
  - Rename the initialization file:
    init.m4s → b._init.m4s
  - Merge both symbol-0 and symbol-1 watermarked segment folders into a single target directory.
  - Replace hyphens (-) with underscores (_) in segment filenames:
    seg-1.m4s → b.seg_1.m4s
- Audio Segment Renaming
  - Append _init to all audio segment files:
    seg-1.m4s → seg-1_init.m4s
    init.m4s → _init.m4s
- Folder Structure Requirement
```
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/dash/video/avc1/1/
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/dash/audio/mp4a/eng_2ch/
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/dash/stream.mpd
```
- MPD Updates
  To ensure proper playback, update the references inside the MPD:
  - Change initialization file reference:
    init.mp4 → _init.mp4
  - Update video segment template:
    seg-$Number$.m4s → seg_$Number$.m4s
  - Update audio segment template:
    seg-$Number$.m4s → seg-$Number$_init.m4s
HLS Output Restructuring
- Video Segment Renaming
  - Prefix all .ts video segments in folder 1 with b.
    Example:
    segment-1.ts → b.segment-1.ts
  - Merge symbol-0 and symbol-1 segment groups into one.
- Audio Segment Renaming
  - Append _init to all audio segments:
    seg-1.aac → seg-1_init.aac
- Folder Structure Requirement
```
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/hls/video/avc1/1/
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/hls/audio/mp4a/eng_2ch/
<bucket>/wm-contents/<output_path>/<cid>/hls/master.m3u8
```
- m3u8 updates
  - No modifications are required in HLS .m3u8 playlists.

After completing the renaming and restructuring steps for both `DASH` and `HLS`, upload the updated content to your `S3` bucket following the specified folder structure. `CloudFront` will then be able to resolve the watermarkable segments correctly during playback.

Answer & Resolution

DASH Output Restructuring

Video Segment Renaming

Prefix all segment files in folder `1` with `b.`
Example:
`seg-1.m4s` → `b.seg-1.m4s`

Rename the initialization file:
`init.m4s` → `b._init.m4s`

Merge both `symbol-0` and `symbol-1` watermarked segment folders into a single target directory.

Replace hyphens (`-`) with underscores (`_`) in segment filenames:
`seg-1.m4s` → `b.seg_1.m4s`

Audio Segment Renaming

Append `_init` to all audio segment files:
`seg-1.m4s` → `seg-1_init.m4s`
`init.m4s` → `_init.m4s`

Folder Structure Requirement

MPD Updates
To ensure proper playback, update the references inside the `MPD`:

Change initialization file reference:
`init.mp4` → `_init.mp4`

Update video segment template:
`seg-$Number$.m4s` → `seg_$Number$.m4s`

Update audio segment template:
`seg-$Number$.m4s` → `seg-$Number$_init.m4s`

HLS Output Restructuring

Video Segment Renaming

Prefix all `.ts` video segments in folder `1` with `b.`
Example:
`segment-1.ts` → `b.segment-1.ts`

Merge `symbol-0` and `symbol-1` segment groups into one.

Audio Segment Renaming

Append `_init` to all audio segments:
`seg-1.aac` → `seg-1_init.aac`

Folder Structure Requirement

m3u8 updates

No modifications are required in HLS `.m3u8` playlists.

After completing the renaming and restructuring steps for both `DASH` and `HLS`, upload the updated content to your `S3` bucket following the specified folder structure. `CloudFront` will then be able to resolve the watermarkable segments correctly during playback.
