> The main idea of this task is to allow client to choose video quality from his side.
> I.e. client itself could influence the transferred amount of data to it.

> So what could be realized is that every stream that is broadcasted from one user via webcam to Red5/OpenMeetings will be re-transcoded into multiple streams (high, middle, low) bandwidth.
> So there might be some limitations to that: - "high" quality will never be better then the original material. We can't make a picture better then the original. So all re-transcoding will only make the original to lower quality, never to higher. - Re-transcoding has to happen on the server side (and number of streams are limited, we can't provide a stream on the required bandwidth "on-demand" for each user, or only with very big effort) - it will require real-time transcoding on server side which is possible with FFMPEG and some integration into Red5. But we would need a very specialized student that is keen and very motiviated as there is hardly any documentation on that available in the internet. What a project makes a success is if all participant know the potential outcome and the tools and methods that are needed to realize that. I would be happy to put this project on our list but it will be difficult to find somebody with the needed skills.
