Dynamic Streaming:
Allows multiple files encoded at various bitrates to be streamed to the end user. In a congested network with fluctuating levels of available bandwidth, FMS 3.5 can switch between different streams (i.e. files encoded at different bitrates) and yield a higher quality, smoother video viewing experience.

DVR functionality:
Allows for pausing and seeking within live video
Higher Performance:
Deliver more streams and users per server. FMS 3.5 doubles the video streaming performance of previous versions.
Improved Security:
Protect your content like never before with enhanced stream protection as well as server-side security. Encrypted H.264 streaming is now supported via the encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE). Improved SWF verification includes support for validation from remote locations
Enhanced Live Streaming Performance:
FMS 3.5 better integrates with the latest version of Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0, allowing users to send multi-bitrate live streams from a single encoder.
