System and method for network delivery of low bit rate multimedia content

摘要

A method for transmitting low bit rate multimedia content can include separately encoding corresponding audio and video packets that represent the multimedia content and generating a system media stream comprising the corresponding audio and video packets. A network communication rate indicating a bandwidth available for transmitting the system media stream can be compared to a media transmission rate indicating a bandwidth needed to transmit the system media stream. The media transmission rate can be adjusted upon on a determination that the media transmission rate is greater than the network communication rate. The system media stream then can be decoded and presented at a remote location.
