Recorded file transcoder

[Petro O. Bochan]

Howdy, I was curious if WCS can be used for recorded files transcoding. For example, on some Android devices, files are stored as VP8/webm. We would like to transcode those files to H264/AAC. Is this possible with WCS or should we go with ffmpeg?
Thanks,
P

Hello

WCS is not designed as a bulk file transcoding software.
It would better use ffmpeg or something else.

To transcode files using WCS, you have to perform few operations:
1. Launch VOD
/vod/startup
2. Launch Transcoder
/transcoder/startup
3. Record Transcoded stream
/record/startup

As you can see, this way is less effective and too slow comparing with ffmpeg.
