If we want to support multiple quality settings for a
single "stream"
this will require a bit more infrastructure. Specifically I propose we
add another namespace for temporal media called Stream: and have it
directly map to ROE xml something like:

info on ROE
http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/ROE
File:my_movie_low_quality.ogg and File:my_movie_high_quality.ogg would
soft redirect to Stream:my_movie and all the meta info would be stored
there. The Stream namespace also allows us to group other media tracks
that share a temporal meaning such as multiple language audio dubbing
and multilingual transcripts/ subtitles. The javascript player can then
dynamically select audio language and or subtitles based on the user
language.
No need. Users would use [[File:my_movie.ogg|high]] or
[[File:my_movie.ogg|low]]
The actual ROE file would be at
upload/thumb/f/fa/my_movie.ogg/my_movie-ROE.ogg (or
Special:MvExportStream as metavidwiki does) as other types do. Same for
the other temporary files.
