回答1:

With the following command, you create two streams and after that, you can put them into adoption sets instead of seperate streams:

ffmpeg -i $INPUT.mp4 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 \
-b:v:0 250k -filter:v:0 "scale=-2:240" -profile:v:0 baseline -b:v:1 \ 
750k -filter:v:1 "scale=-2:480" -profile:v:1 main -use_timeline 1 \    
-use_template 1 -window_size 5 -adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=v \ 
id=1,streams=a" -f dash $OUTPUT.mpd
