Bandwidth

Select the bandwidth you want to use to encode your media. If you selected Use multiple bit rate video, you can select multiple bandwidths.


Internet 14.4 (10 kbps actual)

This bandwidth selection supports streaming of both audio and video content to clients using a network connection that operates at a minimum of 14.4 Kbps.

Internet 28.8 (22 kbps actual)

This bandwidth selection supports streaming of both audio and video content to clients using a network connection that operates at a minimum of 28.8 Kbps.

Internet 56 Modem (37 kbps actual)

This bandwidth selection support streaming of both audio and video content to clients using a modem network connection that operates at 56 Kbps.

Single Channel ISDN (50 kbps actual)

This bandwidth selection supports network connections at Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) rates.

Intranet (100 kbps actual)

This bandwidth selection supports clients on an intranet or local area network (LAN).

Custom (bps)

This bandwidth selection is for users whose system requires a customized bandwidth setting, such as those using a dedicated network that does not use one of the preceding bandwidths.

When specifying the bit rate, consider other traffic that must pass over the network. Unlike the pre-configured bandwidth settings, Microsoft Windows Media Encoder uses the entire bandwidth you specify for streaming ASF information. Note that this value is entered in bits per second, rather than kilobits per second.
