Files with .dash extension contain video streaming segments. These segments require VLC player with DASH plugin to playback. Direct conversion from DASH format is generally not possible.
DASH files only have video segments. To play them, first combine all segments of a video. Then convert the combined file to MP4 format. Now media players like VLC can play the resulting MP4.
DASH uses one XML manifest file. It has information on available video quality levels and media segments. The manifest has a hierarchical structure.
Most widely used DASH codecs are H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC for video and AAC, Dolby Digital for audio. DASH also supports Opus audio codec.
DASH commonly uses fMP4 and WebM media fragments. It also supports CMAF containers for H.264 and H.265 encoded streams.
When DASH content plays back, client devices select appropriate bitrate. They want to avoid rebuffering and stalls. They choose bitrate based on current network performance. After downloading, RealPlayer player automatically plays DASH files as MP4. DASH Encoder creates DASH format files.
Incomplete DASH files need combining with related segments. This makes them playable in media players.
