MBR (Multi-bitrate)

Multi Bitrate or MBR is a single stream available with multiple bitrates. With MBR, you need to encode and configure multiple streams of your content at multiple bitrates and broadcast them to your chosen CDN. End users have the choice to select the bitrate of their preference from the available bitrates (i.e.144p, 240p, 480p, 720p, and so on). The content will be continued to play on the bitrate which the user has selected, irrespective of the internet connection or bandwidth speed of the user. Also with live streaming services that support Multi-Bitrate, your audience can select a suitable bitrate for their connection, delivering a high-quality experience without buffering or lag.

MBR ensures that your content reaches viewers with varying internet speeds, offering flexibility and enhanced viewing experiences. By configuring multiple streams at different bitrates, live video streaming platforms allow users to select the most appropriate stream based on their internet connection, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted broadcast. This is particularly important in live video streaming, where delivering real-time content without delays or buffering can significantly enhance viewer engagement and satisfaction

Build vs Buy in Streaming — The True Cost, Time & Scale Reality Checklist

‘Building a streaming platform from scratch gives more control’ is a myth. In reality ‘build’ entails engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling, etc with additional cost barriers and time restraints.

This webinar breaks down the real-world cost, time, and scalability implications of building vs buying a streaming platform, using a practical checklist approach.

The session will help businesses cut through common myths around custom development and understand why many modern streaming businesses choose SaaS platforms like Muvi One to launch faster, reduce risk, and scale globally—without hiring large tech teams.

Things the webinar would cover:

What “building” a streaming platform actually involves today (engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling).
The true cost of build vs buy, including hidden and long-term operational costs.
Time-to-market realities like how long ‘buy’ vs ‘build’ realistically takes and the business impact of delayed launches.
Scaling challenges across devices, geographies, and monetization models.
A decision-making checklist businesses can use to assess readiness, risk, and ROI before choosing build or buy.
How SaaS platforms like Muvi One enable faster, lower-risk, globally scalable streaming launches.
