Hi Tim, great work to all of you in the team.

Are we subject to upload to the free silvverlight 4gigs or can we host the videos in SQL Server 2005 Express, and i supposed i will be able to use a SQL Server 2005.

thanks

Hi Leny, you can modify the code fairly simply to host the videos locally instead of uploading to Silverlight Streaming. We've done this ourselves for a number of recent demos.

The SQL Server 2005 non-express editions are of course fully supported.

Tim, would it be possible to provide downloads of the code changes to utilize an inhouse video server rather than the silverlight server?

Great news Tim! This will be the third time I've had to port my work across from an earlier version to a new version, heh. I've found it quite difficult to modify the UI and Silverlight Player/Thumbnails controls, but it sure is better than writing it from scratch!

Tim; I assume this is developed in SL 1.0? If yes, is there plan to port it over to SL2.0?

Thanks!

Hi Ben, it’s written using JavaScript, but it runs perfectly well on Silverlight 2.0. JavaScript isn’t being deprecated as a Silverlight language. That said, we’ll probably offer a .NET version of Video.Show in the future as an alternative, but that work hasn't yet commenced.

Best wishes, Tim

Hey Now Tim,

I really like this tool, it's similar to the slide.show & family.show. Vertigo sure created some nice tools.

Thx 4 the info,

Hi Jay, apologies for the porting - hopefully the release notes along with copious use of windiff will help with the transition. I'd love to see what you're building - is it live?

Hello Tim,

Video.Show looks very useful.

Soon we will see people watching tv-like programming such as 'Discovery Channel' as well as those people/organizations create with something like Video.Show anywhere they have a connection such as Starbucks, the airport, etc. Organizations are now making their own streaming video channels for online distribution where they can sell advertising if ever become popular. It was cool to see NBC pick up the online show "quarterlife" this week and we will see more of that in the future as the computer and broadcast media worlds are getting close together.

We are just introducing the world's leading video compression after seven years in development that blows On2/Sorenson away in the Adobe Macromedia Flash Player .FLV output world and can back it up with an example on my blog and on the 'Video Exampes' page on our website. Our patents are 'pending'. We are able to input .WMV files and output (transcode) compressed Flash .FLV files in original-like quality video 10 times smaller that are truely cross platform made to run on existing systems in full-screen HD online at wireless speeds: Windows, Apple, & Linux. There is an example .WMV in and .FLV out on our website on the 'Video Examples' page.

We are interested in inputing .WMV files and outputing compressed .WMV files to help Microsoft be the best possible with our better than tv looking world-leading video quality for end-users. Confident can do it if take the time but have not as hear there is a licensing issue writing .WMV files out ... is this true? We don't want to get in trouble wit you guys - in fact we would like to partner. If Microsoft will give us permission would like to show you what we can do to help Microsoft have the best quality high resolution video online inputing HD .WMV and outputting HD .WMV in much smaller file sizes (Let's talk.)

Congratulations on this Video.Show introduction. It looks very useful to the masses. Interested in beginning conversations between us - as we work in the same space possibly we can compliment eachother...

We are just getting started so our webpage and blog are under construction nearly nightly when not talking to prospects in business hours. Kind regards,

Shaun Maki

Thank you again for creating Video.Show to enable more video in the world. It will make it so Artists who are not technical can produce awesome end results.

Unable to edit my earlier post so wanted to add new information. Can now support those who desire high definition full screen .WMV output to Silverlight or Video.Show for people who want the best looking output (Microsoft license required when writing .WMV output).

A HD online full screen (1280 x 642) example is on our website just poke play.

Image is tied to how messages are delivered. High definition full screen video distributed over the Internet will spread messages most efficiently effectively to impress in a world without a HD YouTube.

The same video media can be sent to any computer Microsoft-based PC, Apple Mac, Linux, Sun Solaris, or mobile devices like cell phones. In any file format: Microsoft Windows Media Video (.WMV) licence required, Adobe Flash Video (.FLV), QuickTime (.MOV), and Audio Video Interleave (.AVI), 3GP, MPEG-4 (MP4), H.264, etc. Something huge goes in (even raw interlaced video) and something 10 times or more smaller still great looking comes out the other side of our video compression and transcoding. In a world where the web is now 10% YouTube with small window ugly video, you can now have full screen high definition better than TV online without upgrades or plug-ins of any kind. HD video online in full screen is like a train to get on or be left behind.

I was wondering since Video.Show uses expression encoder to encode uploaded videos. Are there any hosting sites out there that have exp encoder installed on their servers and provide it as part of hosting service.

Tim,

Are you aware the British Library seems to have dumped SilverLight in favour of Adobe Shockwave for the "Turning the page" (your #1 WPF post!)?

Oh dear.

re: Video.Show 1.0 Released to Web

tims — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:23:48 GMT

Not that your question has anything to do with Video.Show, Jack, but I'd like to take the opportunity to correct the confusion. Shockwave was the original (old) version of Turning the Pages, providing a basic 2D experience. The TTP team redeveloped a new version in WPF called Turning the Pages 2, but they left the original version online, as well as adding a Silverlight version for Macs and low-spec machines.

Here's the link:

Sorry tim. comments seemed disabled for the article in question, so stuck it here.

you are correct of course. i could have sworn the day i looked, the bl front page linked to the old shockwave TTP stuff. but i look now its its taking me to wpf/silverlight stuff.

i was worried they had dumped wpf and moved to flex/flash 9 or some such!
