In the method for managing a variable bit rate so as to provide a
streaming service and in the record medium capable of being read through
a computer having a record of a program to realize the inventive method,
a frame rate controlling system through a removal of a frame and a
fidelity controlling system are used to change a bit rate of multimedia
video data and thereby provide a multimedia streaming service based on
the various bit rates according to a bandwidth change of a communication
network, the fidelity controlling system being gotten by differently
providing selection ranges for discrete cosine transform (DCT)
coefficients in a unit of a block within a frame. This inventive method
comprises a first step of decomposing an original video bit stream stored
already, into a file type capable of supporting the variable bit rate,
and then storing it; a second step of merging data based on the
decomposed type by considering a traffic state of a communication
network; and a third step of providing the streaming service by using the
video bit stream merged, whereby effectuating in a use of an information
communication system etc.
