IIS Smooth Streaming Available Now

Smooth Streaming dynamically detects current network and local PC conditions, and seamlessly switches the video quality of a media file that a Silverlight player receives. Consumers with high-bandwidth connections and newer hardware can experience HD quality streaming, and others with lower bandwidth speeds or older hardware receive an appropriate stream for their conditions, allowing the audience to enjoy an uninterrupted streaming experience with the highest quality possible.

I first wrote about IIS Smooth Streaming back in October 2008.

Last week we reached our next milestone by releasing a beta of the smooth streaming IIS extension https://www.iis.net/extensions/smoothstreaming

There will be a number of talks on all aspects of Smooth Streaming at MIX.

James Clarke has blogged a bunch of additional links on the technology:
