WARNING: RTSP is a plain protocol, and the credentials can be intercepted and read by malicious users (even if hashed, since the only supported hash method is md5, which is broken). If you need a secure channel, use RTSP inside a VPN.
#### 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.
