Hey, I’m excited with the wowza 3 release and was stunned seeing the transcoder option,im already a license(wowza 2) but would like to get the wowza 3 if the following works… Can this transcoder transcode mms/rtsp streams coming from windows media server and give out in h.264/aac? all i need is a yes or no… thanks a lot guys and great work ! learner! ---

MMS ingest is not supported, but I think re-streaming RTSP from Windows Media Server in a Wowza application with Transcoder enabled might work. Richard ---

If there are corresponding .unbind statements just after those with no “firstPacket: TCP:$0” in between, then UDP ports are blocked. Try adding forceInterleaved Property to /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /MediaCaster /Properties list, to re-stream over TCP instead: ```auto forceInterleaved true Boolean ``` Richard ---

Hi LearnerDev, Check the [Transcoder User Guide](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaTranscoderAddOn_UsersGuide.pdf), page 9 at the time of this writing, to ensure that your incoming stream to Wowza is using supported codecs. ---

You can use ffmpeg, vlc, handbrake, etc… You can convert to H.264/AAC right in the VLC GUI. Media menu -\> Convert/Save. ---
