Hi,

i’m new to Wowza and trying to get a feel for it.  
For the last days I have been searching for a way to insert ads into VOD content. I would like to do the typical stuff of showing an Ad at the beginning, middle …

It should work with VAST and VPAID  
Is there a way to do this? Are there some examples available?.

Thanks
