Question

Please clarify availability of H 264 encoding in AIR for iOS/Android

Hello,

I've written an app to send a live camera stream via RTMP in H 264/Nellymoser from mobile devices.  The app works fine on AIR when tested on my Win7 desktop, but when I publish to AIR 3.2 for Android or AIR for iOS, it seems that the H264VideoStreamSettings are simply ignored and the video ends up in Sorenson.  Is H264 supported for encoding/publishing on AIR for mobile devices?  If not, is this planned for the future?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the release notes say H.264 encoding from AIR is for the desktop version only:

I guess this seals it, I'm done developing media production apps in AIR. Due to the lack of support and complete silence from Adobe. I'm saddened that they've let something so promising and easy to use, die.
