We've installed FMS2 and posted a high quality video. Everything looks great on
high speed connections, but lower bandwidth connections have really chopping,
stop and start video quality. How can we control the quality of the outgoing
video stream? I thought that FMS would control this as part of the streaming
process?

You need a Bandwidth detector and then server the apropriate stream.

FMS does not change the quality setting of the stream, it can only modulate
bandwidth dropping frame. This is a behavior common to all streamer servers.
If you want to serve clients with different bandwidth, prepare a set of videos
encoded at different bitrates. Then use a bandwidht measure routine to choose
the right bitstream.
