FLV record stream varying quality?

I am wondering how you would create an app which streams varying quality recorded FLVs, based on user input or bandwidth. Is it possible to take a single FLV source and stream it to clients at varying quality(resolution, framerate, etc)? Or must I encode a different video for each quality setting?

    How is it not so useful? Specifically, does it reduce bandwidth for the client? That would be very useful to me.

    You need to encode different videos for each quality setting. FMS doesn't do dynamic recompression.

    Does reducing NetStream.receiveVideo() free up client bandwidth? Or only CPU usage? Or does it have some other purpose?
