Here are the handouts from my recent presesentation at Streaming Media West in LA. Here’s the description.

This session identifies the most relevant adaptive streaming technologies and details the most critical factors for comparing them. Next, it details how to choose the ideal number of streams and key encoding parameters. Then it provides an overview of options for encoding and serving the streams and closes by describing techniques for serving multiple target platforms like Flash and iDevices with one set of encoded H.264 files.
