Video websites are lots of fun, but setting up your own video community website
can be a real headache. There's a lot to worry about: disk space, bandwidth, video
formats and encoding...
That's why we built a reference quality site which does all of the hard work for
you. The key is Silverlight technology paired up with Silverlight Streaming's free,
world class content hosting. Video.Show provides Silverlight 1.0 video controls,
Silverlight Streaming hosting integration, leveraging Expression Encoder's ability
to handle most popular video formats. We’ve set things up so you can be uploading
videos within minutes, and we’ve added in some cool features like time-based video
comments, so your comments will be synchronized with the video playback.
