I’m Sorenson Squeezing my basic FLVs to a total data rate of 306 Kbps and then uploading them to a streaming server, to good effect.

Recently though, a friend with DSL couldn’t get one to play. His bandwidth tested at 294 Kbps. I made him a version with a total data rate of 100 and that ran for him.

So, I’m thinking of putting up two versions of every FLV–a 306 and a 100. Can I actionscript a client-side detector that would automatically divert a viewer to the 100 if they have dial-up or a real lame DSL?
