Hi, I tried to broadcast RTSP stream encoded with h.264 to flash from ip camera with Wowza’s embedded rtsp->rtmp restreamer. It works fine. Now I want to use RTSP stream with mpeg-4 encoder(mp4v) but I don’t know how can I do it.
Please help me.
Wowza supports mpeg-4 part 10 (aka avc/h.264). Any other variant will require a transcoder between Wowza and the camera.

I think it is MPEG-4 (part 2). You can look into these commercial transocders:
• MComms TV, a commercial stream-to-stream transcoding solution

• Ripcode, a commercial hardware sol ution with DSPs powering the transcoding

Thank you. When I watch rtsp stream from Axis ip camera in VLC, the program shows video codec as “H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)” and restreaming to Wowza works fine.
When I watch rtsp stream in VLC from camera Beward N1000(china-russian noname probably) video codec showed is “MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)”. Does it mean that we should use transcoder in the case of Beward? If yes what transcoder is the best choise, maybe soft and special hardware? We tried to use VLC transcoder and FFMPEG and it didn’t work fine.
