Do you happen to have any ideas on what parameters to use?
I'm not familiar with transcode, sorry. I use ProCoder, Squeeze, and (rarely) Compressor for encoding.

The following URL--once adjusted for your server--should play the MPEG-4 sample that came with your server:
rtsp://server.domain.com:554/mpg4video.mp4

You'll need to change the server name and domain, of course, and if you changed your server's RTSP port for some reason, adjust that as well.

Several versions ago I think the web administration pages included options to individually disable each of the non-Real streaming formats, but there's nothing like that anymore. Under "Server Setup", "Connection Control" are the "RealPlayers Only" and "RealPlayers Plus Only" options, but I don't think you'd have turned those on.

When you click on "About" and look at your license information, are all the data types--including MPEG-4--showing "yes"?
