Just recently finished using Wowza 4 and the Transcoder in anger. The transcoder really is so efficient and great quality… I just wish Wowza would make a stand-alone version for transcoding videos for VOD 🙂 Thanks Wowza. Alex ---

Alex, File transcoding for vod is a possible future feature of Wowza, but I don’t have a time frame for that. Meanwhile you can use [Encoding.com](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-encoding-com-with-wowza-media-server) with Wowza. And we are working on adding [Encoding.com](http://Encoding.com) integration in the Wowza Module Collection, but that is not in place at present. Richard ---

Thanks Richard. I have a pretty large master file that I need to transcode so was looking for some local software this time. Will keep [Encoding.com](http://Encoding.com) in mind though for the future. Alex
