This thesis explores possible solutions to replace Adobe Flash Player by using tools already built into modern web browsers, and explores the tradeoffs between bitrate, quality, and delay when using an adaptive bitrate for live streamed video. Using an adaptive bitrate for streamed video was found to reduce stalls in playback for the client by adapting to the available bandwidth. A newer codec can further compress the video file size while maintaining the same video quality. This can improve the viewing experience for clients on a restricted or a congested network. The tests conducted in this thesis show that producing an adaptive bitrate stream and changing codecs is a very CPU intensive process.
