I followed tutorial setting up webcam recording using flash and it all works smooth - any tips on how to set up the same functionality using html5
Thanks.
Hi,
Please can you be more specific and give a more detailed description of what you’re trying to achieve.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to achieve so can’t give advice on how to do it.

Hi, I need to record users webcam with audio for 10 seconds and save it on the server. I have successfully made it possible with flash. Is there a way to achieve this using only html 5 and wowza media server?
Thanks for speedy reply.
Flash + media server is still the go to solution for recording video on desktop however on mobile browsers you can use the new HTML Media Capture video recording spec which is widely implemented in mobile browsers.
This is as expected. Wowza is shutting down packetizers after the stream stopped. No problem.

Hi,
If you’re using the StreamType “live-record” the file will be saved as a .flv file by default, unless the encode specifies the stream name with the “mp4:” prefix.
You can record a stream being published to Wowza as a mp4 file using the LiveStreamRecord Module found here,
Jason
Hi,
The Wowza transcoder is for transcoding a live stream, if you use the StreamType “live-record” you will be able to record one or multiple files from the same live source.
If you’re already using H.264 and only need to transcode the audio then the audioonly.xml template will be the correct one to use.
Please see the transcoder tutorial for more instruction

Hi,
The bleeping sound is an audio watermark, the audio and video watermarks are due to you using a trial license.
Thanks for the update, I’m glad I assist you.

Another quick question - Im saving webcam recorded video on the server, in my Application.xml, I have changed the file to mp4. Now when I try to open this file in the firefox - it says that the file is currupt. How to properly encode mp4 so that it plays in html5

I have activated transcoder with following templates audioonly.xml, transcode.xml, transrate.xml (I guess I wouldn’t need to load all of those - maybe just audioonly.xml), which I asssume are loaded here in my Application.xml:
<Transcoder>
<!-- To turn on transcoder set to: transcoder -->
<LiveStreamTranscoder>transcoder</LiveStreamTranscoder>
<!-- [templatename].xml or ${SourceStreamName}.xml -->
<Templates>transrate.xml,audioonly.xml</Templates>

<TemplateDir>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/transcoder/templates</TemplateDir>
<Properties>
</Properties>
</Transcoder>
These files - audioonly.xml, transcode.xml, transrate.xml are located at /transcoder/templates/. In all of them I have set up audio codec to be AAC and video codec to be H.264, but still my webcam recorded video has audio codec SPEEX, which I have used in my flash client application to encode microphone sound. So the video sound is not being encoded with transcoder. Here are all transcoder files:
audioonly.xml:

Why my video audio is not encoded with AAC audio using transcoder? It seems that transcoder is not being used at all… what am I doing wrong here? Do I understand right that - when I record my video from webcam and use transcoder - the video is being encoded with the transcoder settings so that the end mp4 file is with h.264 and AAC? I managed to get the video to be recorded as mp4 that plays on ipad , but the problem still is the sound
Hi thank you, I’m getting to it - got it working with transcoder - now I get different videos with different settings - nice 
and audio is transcoded properly too. Last one - after 10 seconds of playing back recorded video very loud the bleeping sound appears and also there is a watermark on the video. Im using free demo version, is it because of that? When I purchase the full version all should be normal? Or that’s some sort of bug - I mean the loud bleep sound?
Thanks
Im getting this from the wowza, when Im finished with recording video - in my flash application I close netconnection: nc.close; nc = null:

Is this something I must pay attention to or fix?
Cool, thanks, I thought that I had to stop them before recording another video …
hi thank you. I did get it, it worked very effectively and I am very satisfied with this software
