March 18, 2009 - 12:20pm — Daniel Chait
Microsoft's really stepping up in terms of media support. Scott Guthrie ran through the highlights and showed some great demos, on both the client (Silverlight) and server (IIS) side.
Silverlight 3:
- GPU Hardware Acceleration
- New Codec Support - H.264, AAC, MPEG-4
- Raw bitstream API for A/V (in C#)
- Improved logging for media analytics
IIS Media Services (available as a free download):
- On-demand smooth streaming - for pre-recorded video
- Live smooth streaming (beta) - capture live content and stream via IIS
- Edge caching - Akamai already offering this
- Web playlists
- Bit-rate throttling
- Advanced logging
