I am writing a Silverlight application which displays large applications. It uses MediaElement and the user can scroll to any particular point in the video.
However, I don’t want to have to host these large videos myself. What is the easiest/best option for hosting? (A sort of youtube for silverlight if you want)
If you don’t care about smooth streaming you could put it almost anywhere.
For smooth streaming, you’d probably want a cdn that supports it like limelight http://www.limelightnetworks.com/2010/03/smooth-streaming/ .. Or use something like Amazon S3 or Azure Storage using this technique http://aldenml.com/blog/2009/12/11/how-to-smooth-streaming-and-windows-azure-storage/.
Some cheap hosters like Discountasp.net also support smooth streaming http://www.discountasp.net/sp_iis7manager.aspx
I don’t know of any free youtube like places to host the video. http://silverlight.live.com used to be free, but is shutdown now.
