Abstract
A system and method for performing video compression and streaming video from an online hosted video game or application. The online hosted video game or application is streamed to the client with a latency such that the user has the perception that the selected video game or application is responding instantly to the control signals received from the client device. In addition, feedback information received from the client device is used to determine characteristics of a communication channel between a server and the client. The video stream encoding is adjusted based on the detected communication channel characteristics, while maintaining a latency such that the user has the perception that the selected video game or application is responding instantly.
