Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing bandwidth of an encoded media content stream by dynamically varying the quality of the encoded media content. One method involves encoding the media content using a first value for a quality factor, determining one or more metrics indicative of a bandwidth associated with the encoded portion of the media content, determining an adjustment for the quality factor to obtain an adjusted value for the quality factor based at least in part on a relationship between the one or more metrics indicative of the bandwidth and one or more bandwidth targets, and thereafter encoding a subsequent portion of the media content using the adjusted value for the quality factor.
