You could use software such as wowza to do converting on the fly (http://www.wowza.com/)

Alternatively you could convert your uploaded video (straight after upload) by shelling out to ffmpeg. 

exec("ffmpeg -i $input -b 128k $output", $output);

and then link to the different video files depending on selected bitrate.
