Is live stream recorded PRE or POST transcoder overlays?

I am studying Wowza to determine suitability for our application development - we have not yet installed a server instance.

Please tell me: Using the HTTPLiveStreamRecord method, is the stream recorded with or without the Transcoder overlays, or is there a configurable option to do either/both?

I have the same question regarding the DVR addon - is it using the same process as HTTPLiveStreamRecord, or a separate one?

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

The stream will be recorded with the overlay, if you record a rendition that is configured with an overlay.

DVR uses a separate process for recording than LSR. DVR records to chunks that are used in DVR playback. LSR records to .mp4 or .flv container

I hope this answers your question. Also, you can download a trial version of Wowza to test and familiarize yourself with the software.

NOTE: The Transcoder applies an audio watermark as well as an embedded Wowza logo when running the trial version.
