Transcoding in the sky with Silverlight Streaming
Do you have media like *.mov files which Silverlight doesn't speak?
Do you really really want that media in Silverlight?
Do you have an abundance of bandwidth to push un-encoded files up to the cloud?
Sick of melting your CPU to encode media? we can do it in the cloud.

If you answered Yes I have some news for you.

In the new Beta of Silverlight Streaming we implemented transcode in the Cloud functionality as part of our overall Video Management capability.
Via the Web UX (no API... yet) you upload a video and we transcode it in our server farm and then wrap this in a default player (NOTE: This isn't a replacement for Expression Encoder - this is different!).
Watch my screencast below of how to use it.
