Hi, We will be streaming videos in Siliverlight and need to know if the videos can be transcoded to .wmv format. what preset needs to be used for doing so, pls advise. Cheers, D

If you want to output to WMV you can use the Video/Transcode call passing srcFilePath=/yourfile.mov destFilePath=/yournewfile.wmv

You can read more about the video transcode call at http://developer.nirvanix.com/sitefiles/1000/API.html#_Toc190000002

The full list of supported codecs can be found at: http://developer.nirvanix.com/forums/t/378.aspx

Hi, Is there a preset for the wmv output? I noticed some presets for Flash in the developer documentation... Cheers, D

 For the video namespace there are two types of calls.  The PresetTranscode and Transcode calls.  PresetTranscode only supports FLV output and allows you to adjust the quality of the conversion.  The Transcode call converts based on the filename and it does allow output to WMV if you set the output filename with the .wmv extension.

The response code of 0 means that the call you made was successful. This basically verifies the file path and parameters provided are correct. However, the actual transcode is done in the background. To get more information you need to use the callbackURL parameter which will give the actual results of the transcode operation. You will need to setup a end point on your server to get this information. Regards, Barry R.
