Encoding MOV video using windows azure media services

Question

I am trying to encode .mov video using windows azure media services. I am getting "File type or codec not supported" error. I tried all presets, but none of them are working.

Answer 1

There is a easier fix for this. We don't accept files with .mov, however, if it is H.264, you could change extension to .Mp4, and rerun the encoding present. It should just work.

Answer 2

Azure media services now supports .mov. I followed this example and the orientation for the encodings was correct.
