Abstract
A method and apparatus for delivering variable bit rate media files delivers media files to client systems. The media server can dynamically detect when a client can accept a different bit rate version of a media content. The media server can smoothly switch between different bit rate versions of the media content as it delivers the media content to client systems. A client system can also request different bit rate versions of a media content while it is playing the media content.
