I am trying to encode .mov video using windows azure media services. I am getting "File type or codec not supported" error. I tried all presets, but none of them are working.

You didn't provide any details about what you tried, your code, etc. Having said that: There's already a question that seems like a duplicate of this, from a year ago: stackoverflow.com/questions/17960997/… - have you looked at that? – David Makogon
It's the same sample code which you find everywhere for uploading videos using windows azure media service – Devesh Tipe

There is a easier fix for this. We don't accept files with .mov, however, if it is H.264, you could change extension to .Mp4, and rerun the encoding present. It should just work.

Azure media services now supports .mov. I followed this example and the orientation for the encodings was correct.
