Question

With Azure Media Services retired, is there a way to transcode videos?

I used to use "Media Encoder Standard" on a CloudMediaContext.Jobs.CreateWithSingleTask() call against https://myaccount.restv2.westus.media.azure.net/api/, but that no longer works. Does Azure provide any other video encoding services?

Yes it did, thank you very much. I must say I'm surprised, but it's good to know so I don't waste time looking all over the place. Thanks again.

Hello Galan Bridgman ,

Thanks for reaching out on Microsoft Q and A!

Unfortunately, Azure Media Services has been retired. Currently, there is no direct Azure replacement for video transcoding. However, you can use Azure Virtual Machines or Azure Kubernetes Service with tools like FFmpeg to achieve similar results but require more setup and management compared to the Azure Media Services .
