I’ve been looking into adaptive bitrate streaming for the last day, but I have not been able to find what I’m looking for. I see that by using the Wowza Transcoder you can encode an adaptive bitrate stream in real time. I’m wanting to do the exact same thing except with a VOD stream. The only information I’ve found about adaptive bitrate VOD streaming requires multiple files. Is there a way to do adaptive bitrate VOD streaming in real time with only a single source file?

You can use Stream class streams to publish live streams using static content. Then send the live stream to the Transcoder as a work around:
