    Here's a link to a proof-of-concept implementation of Smooth Streaming.

    More information is available on the following wiki page.

    Introducing Smooth Streaming for H264 encoded video.

    In case you are interested in the technical side of things to get Smooth Streaming to play H264 encoded videos, here's a technical note.

      Hi Arjen,

      Thanks for putting this together. This is great!

      Do you know if a flash player plays back a smooth streamed video containing moof atoms? Or is silverlight the only previledged ones.

      Thanks, micado

        Hi Micado

        The sample principles (that is chopping up the video into chunks) apply. For Flash I've put up a [http://h264.code-shop.com/demo/adaptive_streaming/video.html demo) as well. Dynamic bit-rate switching and all that is possible in both Flash and Silverlight, but the latter has the following advantages:

        • It allows for separate audio and video streams.
        • It allows for seamless stitching of the chunks (that's a biggy!)
        • It reads fragmented MP4 files.

        It's do-able in Flash, but it will take some effort to include dynamic bit rate switching into a Flash player and the seamlessly stitching together of the chunks is currently not possible.

        But to answer your question, Flash won't playback fragmented movie files.

        I'm really looking forward to Adobe's reaction to Silverlight's smooth streaming. At some point they must allow for some more low-level access to their network/streaming/video layer.

        Regards,

          In Adobe Flash 10.1 it is now possible to playback fragmented movie files. A proof of concept using a plugin for JW Player and the smooth streaming module can be found on  this page.
