Files recorded using Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0 or greater will not play properly in Wowza Pro. This is due to the fact the Flash Media Live Encoder now records files using a fragmented MP4 format which Wowza Pro currently does not support. The following tool from Adobe can be used to convert the file to a format that is playable in Wowza Pro. [http://www.adobe.com/go/fms\_tools](http://www.adobe.com/go/fms_tools) Charlie ---

does this apply to the live streams as well? ---

No it doesn’t. And it doesn’t apply to recordings that Wowza creates from live streams. Richard
