I've been through a few site conversations that went from progressive streaming to either RMTP, Adaptive or Smooth streaming, or any of more current steaming protocols.

I suggest even adding Wowza if you have the time and budget to set it up. However, keep in mind, your disk access may be increased and or your server resources need to be bumped up.

Take a look at this ..

If you go to our website you will see adaptive video streaming examples.
You don't see it but the back end code is adjusting the delivery speed to match what the end user is able to see. Netflix and Amazon uses that kind of delivery.
