We are about to add h264 video to our website. So far it looks like we are going to use Ultra Video Gallery 3 Professional Edition.
What are the good alternatives?
Ultra Gallery 3 should work great if you don't intend to do much customization of the video controls.

I have a WPF 4/VB.net project, and I'm trying to play video in it. I've been using a mediaelement, much to the chagrin of the program's overall performance. Thus, I'm looking into the only other viable alternative that I can find for my project...directx.
Which brings me to my question. Is it possible to play video (either Theora [.ogv] or Flash Video [.flv]) in DirectX? If so, how?
Thank you in advance!
The Mediaelements Performance is not so bad and dependent on Codec. Mediaelement can also Play all Formats if you have required Codecs installed.
I have a DirectX Video Player written in VB.Net (without WPF).I used the DirectX SDK. But the methods are highly error prone.
To play your Videoformats, you can install a Codec-Pack e.g. K-Lite with FFDshow (highly recommended)
What are the current possibilities to run silverlight on the iPad please ?
Other than the video streaming MS demo of course.
If there's no official packages or something, I'm interested in hacks too
Thanks
Have a look at this article:

Also, perhaps you can give us more of an idea what you are trying to achieve with silverlight for a more detailed answer?
You should also bear in mind that the main issue is the support on the apple devices - a political decisions by Apple. There are ways and means to get the support unofficially, but I can vouch for them being flawed and as good as useless.
NO. There isn't anything available right now...
Try alternative solution.
With ABYTY Browser you can run any Flash and Silverlight apps for business and entertainment like on desktop.
For view Silverlight or Flash on your iPhone (iPad, iPod) you not need of jailbreaking it or installing any applications from the App Store or Cydia. You not need install flash player or silverlight on your iphone. Simply open link ABYTY Browser from iDevice and follow appeared instructions. At this moment it little bit ugly and not have sound, but working in basic on iPhone and iPod too.
I'm trying to make a small silverlight application but i became across a problem, playing videos from youtube.
I tried a method with a html conteiner to embed the youtube flash player, but with this method i need to activate the option windowsless, and thats is not a good ideia for my web site.
If anyone have a good ideia,I'm glad to hear
thanks

Silverlight actually supports the H.264 format so you can play videos directly within your application.
There's a tutorial here that outlines how to do this:

My purpose is simple, to find a sample which is just enough for my usage other than reading a long page sample. :-)
My requirement is very simple, just embed a Silverlight player into web browser to play some specific videos, the videos are hosted on an IIS server, some are wmv format and some others are flash format.
Any quick to reference samples? :-)
thanks in advance,
George
Download Expression Encoder and grab the various templates you wnat from there (it also has the ability to auto-publish to silverlight.live.com for streaming, so we can handle the burden of video hosting as well - for free! :)
Under the Output tab, you'll have a pick from a bunch of templates there (pick which one takes your fancy, and grab that code and cut & paste it into your said page)

I would like to bypass the web-server functionality of a Sony SNC-RZ30N network attached web cam and display the video feed in a Silverlight application.
I can't seem to find any examples of interfacing with the camera programatically.
Any leads would be much appreciated. Thx.
Update 09/09/2008: Found a good site with Javascript examples to control the camera, but still no means to embed the video in an iFrame or the like:

I don't know the details of the Sony network camera and the server side software. But what do you mean by web-server functionality - is that the UI that get served up to the users in form of a HTML page? Or is it something more, like a server capturing the video stream and transcoding it?
I think the direction you need to take is to first find the URL end-point of your video stream. Since it's a network camera I assume the camera has a built in IP-stack/HTTP server serving up the video stream. Once you have that feed you probably have to transcode it into a video format consumable by Silverlight. There are multiple tools you can use, but for Silverlight the preferred tool Microsoft Expression Encoder. It supports live transcoding of webcam video streams. I think it supports both Direct Show devices as well as video streams.
