From: Jaak Simm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: single bit-rate vs multi bit-rate audio I using RealServer 7.0 to stream audio with bit-rates 28.8k modem(20kbs) and 56k modem (32kbs). I have compered two possibilities for doing that: -use two single bit-rate streams (28.8k,56k) to serve audio, the client chooses the right connection speed. -use one multi bit-rate stream of 28k and 56k to serve audio, the client is automatically assigned the right connection speed. Creating the rm files (with RealProducer 7.0) shows that the multi bit-rate file are twice as big as two single bit-rate files together. This fact makes me wonder the usefulness of multi bit-rate files as they take up too much space. ******************************************************* The RealForum is an email discussion group focused on using RealNetworks products.
