Can you apply adaptive bitrate on the “standard” version of Wowza on AWS? if not how can you achieve it?

Hi,
You can create your own ABR file by incorporating a number of streams with different bit rates into a smil file,
e.g. if you have a number of streams with different bit rates, or a number of video assets with different bit rates, a simple smil file like this will be all you need:
```auto
```
If you want Wowza to create a number of ABR outputs then you will need to add in the [Transcoder AddOn](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-and-play-smil-files-with-streams-created-by-wowza-transcoder). This will create a number of keyframe aligned streams from a single source, that again you can put into a smil file.
[This document](http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/229276/file-365806061-pdf/docs/Adaptive_Bitrate_Streaming_with_Wowza_Media_Server.pdf) describes the various scenarios. Some (such as [The Transcoder](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaTranscoderAddOn_UsersGuide.pdf)) may not be available as part of your “standard” version.
I’d recommend contacting sales@wowza.com with a list of your requirements and they’ll point you in the right direction.
