5000kpbs is higher quality than 1000kpbs. If that doesn't answer your question, can you please rephrase it?

Bitrate is adjustable so that you have some flexibility that can help you maximize your playback experience. There are many factors involved in video playback that can affect the performance of video playback. One of the most important is bandwidth between the server and the recieving platform. I have a friend who was just complaining to me that he was trying to stream a video from my server and that it was biffering and pausing frequently. that was because he had set the bitrate to 5000kbps, but when I had him run an internet speedtest we found that he was only getting 3000kbps download speed from his ISP. When he lowered the bitrate to 2000kbps he was able to watch the stream without any interruptions.

This is a MAJOR factor if you try streaming video to a smartphone where 3G speeds can be wildly inconsistent.

GJ51 knocked my explanation to the ground. Well explained!
