H.264 / MP3 live encode fails to stream DVR cache

I have a live encode to the media server with dvr enabled for H264/MP3 format.  When I try to play the dvr cache stream, all I get is audio and no video.  If I switch to VP6/MP3, the stream plays fine.  If I do a live encode with no dvr, it streams fine.  Does dvr with H264 work only when you flatten the file using F4V post processor tool?  Will the dvr cache stream work if I switch to AAC instead of MP3?

    There are some specific nuances to what H.264 stream names need to be for DVR with H.264. They should be in the dvrcast documentation but I believe it requires prepending MP4: and postpending .F4V to the stream name. Sent by GoodLink (www.good.com)

    Thanks!  That did the trick.  I should read the docs more closely.

    Have you been able to use DVRcast_edge? When I tied I get a Stream Not Found.

    Thanks
