user-1: I have a video I'd like to convert to HLS, however, when I run the command, it only records the last few segments to the master manifest. How can I get all of the fragments and their associated data into the same manifest?
Output manifest:

user-1: Add -hls_playlist_type vod to the output parameters.
Doing this will write all the fragments to the same manifest, as well as add a 
#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD tag to the manifest.
You can also do -hls_list_size 0. The default for this is 5, which means the output manifest will contain up to 5 segments by default. Setting it to 0 will tell ffmpeg to contain all the fragments

-1: <p>I have a video I'd like to convert to HLS, however, when I run the command, it only records the last few segments to the master manifest. How can I get all of the fragments and their associated data into the same manifest?</p>

<p>Output manifest:</p>
