So like me at one point you posted videos for streaming on the beta Silverlight Streaming Service and now you are in a quandary as the service is going away. What should you do? How can you continue to deliver rich content via Silverlight without worrying about beta expirations? How can you move your existing content from the Silverlight Streaming Service to updated one?

Thankfully David Sayed from the Silverlight Media Platform team has some solid answers to assist you before the old beta service expires at the end of January.

Check out:

• Provisioning Windows Azure
• Setting up Windows Azure for video storage
• Creating and publishing a video in a Silverlight player to a Windows Azure storage account (using Expression Encoder 3)
• Embedding a published video in a blog (using Windows Live Writer)
• How to retrieve content that is stored on Silverlight Live Streaming

The whole concept of using Azure for multimedia dovetails nicely to my posts:
