Hi - Does anyone know of software that can compress video for streaming to wowza to H.264 standard? I talked to Digital Rapids, and by the end of the week they will issue a H.264 plug-in for their live streaming cards, but it will only work with their rather costly, for amateurs, cards.

Does anyone know of a company selling software for live streaming encoding H.264 that works with wowza?

Thanks,

ys
