Thanks for your comment. About the “cumulative progress”, I meant the technology to load the whole file in cache, and play the video while loading. It seems that Silverlight won’t go like that, at least in all the demo videos.

Regarding the restriction, the FLV support might be a problem to develop; but the help of popular Flash video communities could be great opportunities, e.g., the cooperation with YouTube to set up a Silverlight zone, with a slogan like Better Experience, etc.

All the words in my article just show my persoanl views. If there’s something inappropriate, I appologize for all involved.

Define “cumulative progress”.

Also note, that one of the reasons for not supporting .FLV is it would also be a violation of the Adobe License Agreement, see under “restrictions”

a. You may not use the Specification in any way to create or develop a runtime, client, player, executable or other program that reads or renders SWF files.
