#### Remuxing / Re-encoding
#### Remuxing, re-encoding, compression
`rtsp-simple-server` is an RTSP server: it publishes existing streams and does not touch them. It is not a media server, that is a far more complex software that can receive existing streams, re-encode them and publish them. Therefore, `rtsp-simple-server` alone cannot change the format, codec or compression of a stream.
Nothing forbids from using `ffmpeg` or `gstreamer` together with `rtsp-simple-server`, obtaining the same features of a media server. For instance, if we want to re-encode an existing stream, that is available in the `/original` path of `rtsp-simple-server`, and make the modified stream available in the `/compressed` path, it is enough to launch `ffmpeg` in parallel with `rtsp-simple-server`, with the following syntax:
