Camtasia and Silverlight Output?
Posted on Saturday June 9, 2007 by Betsy Weber
I had a great time at Microsoft TechEd this week and have the pictures to prove it!
I was lucky enough to meet up with Steve Smith from the ASP Alliance (see his pic below).
Steve put in a feature request to have a Silverlight output for Camtasia videos. Steve has all the details on his post here.
For more info about Silverlight, visit here or here. And, the Microsoft's website about Silverlight is here.
I want to know what you think. Would you like us to support Silverlight and why? Post here or on Steve's blog. I'll be watching both blogs and sharing the feedback with the Product Managers and Dev teams.

You guys already have WMV output it would just be a matter of creating a Silverlight container. My vote is yes.

Of course there should be silverlight support directly in Camtasia.

I would like to see a LOT more support for silverlight encoding options (hd, hi-res, etc.), xaml player templates, and practically every feature you now support with flash creation.
We are looking forward to the IIS 7.0 Media Pack and silverlight to reduce network bandwidth consumption for our intranet, as well as our partners and extranet sites. Our initial research has shown that by the time IIS 7 is released, installation of Silverlight within our enterprise will be 100%, and externally, we expect about half our partners with either have or will install the Silverlight plug-in at our request.
I would love to see TechSmith support Silverlight as much as they do flash. I realize that is asking for a lot, but I believe we are about to witness the "streaming wars" once again. Flash won't be king and people will need to encode in both Flash and Silverlight.
Similar to the "old days" when we had to stream quicktime, real, and wmv, to reach all audiences, I feel we are about to witness the "streaming wars" once again.
People will need to encode in both Flash and Silverlight. If your product supported both, then it would be a compelling choice over solutions that did one and not the other.
In fact, I found this page to start my research after a large discussion on video and bandwidth usage at my company took place.
Thank you for asking us our opinions.
