Stream balacing "Gur" <gur[ at ]gur.co.il> 6/14/2007 8:01:28 PM A theoretical question- In the docs its written that When WME or WMS stream to a WMP the WMP can negotiate in the middle of the session regarding the stream parameters ( mainly because of networking changes) and causing their modification. On the other hand, when I setup a new stream session in WME I define all these parameters before starting the session. So, witch parameters are dynamic and may change in the middle? Regards Gur

The media server will negotiate with the media player to determine whether to dynamically switch sources created in an MBR file, it will also apply thinning and stream dropping of the video portion, if the available bandwidth falls off too far. This article contains an expanded description of what I said : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/intstreaming.aspx Is that what you needed to know ? You didn't say which parameters in the encoder are important to you, so I'm not sure of the intention of your question.
