Refering to your previous post : ````````````````````````` You should strive to have prompts available in all the channel encodings actually used by your system. I have systems that only use ULAW, so all of my prompts are encoded as ULAW. (Sometimes I "cheat" and use WAV files since they are easier to work with and transcoding from WAV to ULAW is "cheap.") ````````````````````````` Can I convert my .WAV IVR greetings, MOH and other recordings into G729 format to prevent transcoding and hence CPU usage ? Thx
