I have encoded some videos. Now I want to copy these assets to another account. How can I do it? Say the assets get copied to another account, then do I need to encode them again or there is no need?

    Hello,
    No need to reencode. But you need to copy the asset files as blobs to another storage & container using the Azure Storage SDK. Once the copy is done, you can create a new asset in the second AMS account and use the container you created. You can test this workflow with Azure Media Services Explorer. It has a copy asset feature between two accounts. There is also the code for a replicator tool here.

    Take a look at https://github.com/ealmuneyeer/ReplicateAzureMediaServicesV3 to replicate assets from one account to another. No reencoding required.
