One feature which I believe would be a great plus for Kaltura would be the ability to detect the bandwidth, and provide a movie quality that the user can handle with his connection.

This means that the movie would be encoded into 2 or 3 different qualities (resolutions).

An example :

Beside that Kaltura is really a great product, I haven't seen that much, but I like what I have seen :-)

Regards, Jo

That's great news! I tend to spend a fair amount of time on machines with slow Internet connections, so if Kaltura could adapt to whatever speed Internet connection I have that would be amazing!

Keep up the incredible work!

Chris!
