# Stop recording

This operation stops the recording of a transcoder before the transcoder has stopped. Wowza Video begins converting the recording to an MP4 file after the transcoder has stopped. You can use this operation to manually stop recording even if _recording_ is set to true on the transcoder, meaning the recording was automatically started at transcoder start.
If you want the recording to start and stop automatically when you start and stop the transcoder, set _recording_ to true when you create a transcoder or  update a transcoder and then don't use the manual stop recording operation.
