I am using Wowza nDVR. WSE version is 4.7.7. I want to store recorded videos for 30 days and start recording over for 30 more days after deleting previous files. Is there a way to achieve that with WSE?

Hello,

Normally we would recommend that you use the nDVR conversion API to create an mp4 file from the store. Then this file can be used as a VOD asset until deleted.

Thanks for your answer. Went through documentation for conversion, could not find how to convert live stream into multiple mp4 files of a fixed duration, say keep saving mp4 files for each 10 minutes of recording?
