Hi, actually i have a question about how decode streams… because:

```auto
INFO server comment - LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handlePacket[live/_definst_/mpegts.stream]: Video codec:MPEG2 isCompatible:false
INFO server comment - LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handlePacket[live/_definst_/mpegts.stream]: Audio codec:MP3 isCompatible:true

```

and

```auto
WARN server comment - RTPPlayer.describe: No video packetizer[11]: MPEG2

```

This trial version have only h264 in/out codecs and audio - or normal license have all codecs?

I need to know to test, and to decide - buy it or not

Thank you before, for any answer.

P.S.i`ve see there some wms jars, but no mpeg2 proper jar

MPEG2 is not supported for streaming. It is supported for decode by the Wowza Transcoder

You can use “PassThru” for the /Encode /Video /Codec

ok, thank for answer - but, when i send to wowzs h264 - it all time doing transcode from 264 to 264 - i saw it on cpu and proccesses. How to deactivate it at all?

thanks about any answer

i think we will buy hardware transcoders and going on h264 at all.

Hi,

Is there any plane to add MPEG 2 streaming with Wowza?

is it possible to “passThru” MPEG 2 in current version?
