Posting to Silverlight Streaming
Hello, with all the noise about Silverlight these days, I was bothered by the lack of talk about the Streaming platform as a place to showcase content. Beyond being a great place for developers to explore, I though this would be a great place to publish video's to share.
The problem is, why do I have to use VS to create a project or use templates from expression decoder that I susequenty strip down in order to publish the content. There has to be a better way!
Along comes Roxio Labs with this cool WPF Editor that lets you edit your video prior to positing it up to the web site. I thought I would give it try.
I started by using Espression Media Encoder to cut a piece out of another clip. The platform limits the content to 22MB. I could have just as easily used Vista Movie maker and any other tool but that way I would not have this wonderful screen shot to upload.
After that I dropped the file onto the editing screen and clicked on share
I had previously configured my Streaming Account Details, remember it is free to sign up, and it promptly started transcoding. (Why when I went to all the trouble to transcode in the ifrstplace but I guess it does not have the smarts to figure that out.)
It then began uploading and I was able to post the reference provided by the tool
to my Web Site!
Handy little tool that simplifies a few things!
