Microsoft released today a new <A class="" title="Video Portal" href="http://preview.microsoft.com/video/" mce_href="http://preview.microsoft.com/video/">beta video portal</A> that is a single repository of videos that Microsoft creates for various purposes (marketing, education, training and more). You can search and embedd videos in your blog like this one:</P><IFRAME src="http://preview.microsoft.com/video/player.aspx?video=05d9d2a1-7d7e-4d34-a6ae-0e15a218f817" frameBorder=0 width=430 scrolling=no height=366></IFRAME> <P>You can expect to see much more video content spread in Microsoft portal to help our customers.</P> <P>The portal is using the MSN Video hosting service in the back-end and obviously uses Silverlight for the video presentation.</P> <P>Enjoy.</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8348627" width="1" height="1">SILVERLIGHTvideoMicrosoft.comMicrosofthttp://blogs.msdn.com/bardak/archive/2008/03/20/the-microsoft-video-portal-will-soon-be-heading-your-way.aspxFri, 21 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8327940Barak Cohen1http://blogs.msdn.com/bardak/comments/8327940.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/bardak/commentrss.aspx?PostID=8327940<P>With some much content available in a video form, and the popularity of the video medium with both consumers and enterprise customers, we identified a need to consolidate the vast amount of video content we have in our network and make it available (and searchable, and embeddeble) to our customers. The MS.COM team stepped up and created a new portal that will be powered by Silverlight and will allow you to search, experience, embedd and email video content on <A href="http://preview.microsoft.com/video/">http://preview.microsoft.com/video/</A>&nbsp;(which later will become <A href="http://microsoft.com/video">http://microsoft.com/video</A> ). An initial view of the site was available during the <A class="" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/controlpanel/blogs/www.visitmix.com" mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/controlpanel/blogs/www.visitmix.com">MIX</A>&nbsp;08 conference and you can expect to see it going live again in April (I will update you with specific date once it is available). The creation of this makes one think about the viability of creating a searchable media site for corporations. We already released a blue print for such a design with the <A class="" href="http://www.codeplex.com/videoshow" mce_href="http://www.codeplex.com/videoshow">video.show</A> project.</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8327940" width="1" height="1">SILVERLIGHTUXSTREAMINGvideocorporations
