Dr. Neil posted a screencast showing how to use SilverlightStreamingMediaPlayer. Dr. Neil explains how easy it is to embed Silverlight Streaming Videos into your web page using this control. This control is part of Windows Live Tools which you can download from here. I would discuss this control in one of my future posts.

SilverlightStreamingMediaPlayer is compatible with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 and is based on MediaPlayer control it offers. You can get the MediaPlayer as well as Silverlight 2 from Silverlight 2 Beta 2 Tools. SilverlightStreamingMediaPlayer extends MediaPlayer with Silverlight Streaming Service and allows you to embed videos uploaded into your Silverlight Streaming account.

You can get your own Silverlight Streaming Account by signing up at http://silverlight.live.com/. You would need Windows Live ID to sign up and create your account. Silverlight Streaming generously offers storage upto 10GB and 5TB of aggregated bandwidth. For more details, please visit: http://silverlight.live.com/ 

Silverlight Streaming offers a plug for Expression Encoder to help you encode your videos and upload directly to your Silverlight Streaming Account. You can download Silverlight Streaming Plug In for Expression Encoder from Microsoft.com’s download center.

Screencast by Dr. Neil is about 11 minutes or so.
