If I was to stream live fast action sporting event like a basketball game, using dynamic streaming (3 streams) with a dedicated 10MB upstream connection and a strong encoding appliance(viewcast model) what are the best/most common bitrates I should encode at? Which bitrates are most accessible for both PC and mobile, average users?

>> 275kbps, 550kbps, 875kbps

>> 282kbps, 482kbps, 682kbps

>> 300kbps, 500kbps, 800kbps

Would a lot of buffering occur if a viewers connection fluctuates alot between 550 and 875kbps?

Thanks.D

    It will depend upon your client base - do you any idea what is bandwidth profile of most of your client base? I think that would help you decide which one would better suit your need - there is nothing like best per se but depending on your client profile - customers decide thier MBR set
