Checking video facts against the source
Checking a video course means running each FFmpeg command and reading each RFC, and the errors that turn up are the ones that sound right.
Simulating a streaming stack
Three labs model the three shapes video delivery actually takes: a VOD chain, a live ingest path, and the edge network underneath both.
