Streamlike™ Video is the next generation in Flash video content management & webcasting


Streamlike™ Audio is a secured streaming method for playing MP3s

Bandwidth Optimization

Many websites ask their visitors to select a bit rate before playing the appropriate video. Even if we assume they know their theoretical bandwidth it does not mean that the entire bandwidth is available when the video starts playing.

When the client computer shares its internet connection with other PCs such as a corporate network, the actual bandwidth must be measured.

Not measuring bandwidth may result in excess spending for sending files that are larger than necessary. It also results in a poor customer experience since oversized files won't start playing until a sufficient buffer has been loaded. They may also stop playing at any moment if background downloading isn't fast enough.

It takes less than a second for a Streamlike™ player to measure the actual available bandwidth. Once measured, the appropriate media can be sent for optimum user experience and well-adjusted broadcasting costs.

Rate thresholds :

Encoding rate Video Audio
Low encoding less than 300 kbps less than 50 kbps
Medium encoding between 300 kbps and 1000 kbps between 50 kbps and 100 kbps
High encoding more than 1000 kbps more than 100 kbps
