Flash Pro (I think) comes with a video converter to convert to flash 
video... Plus, I think its pretty easy to load a regular encoded video 
into a flash app.

You also could use SilverLight, download the SDK from Microsoft and it
has a built in way to display videos, very similar to flash.

any example on how to use silver light to convert or load a video file with 
ASP.NET?

You can download the SDK and see examples here: http://silverlight.net/

With Silverlight, you encode the video using Expression Media Encoder 
(an application by Microsoft), which does almost everything for you. If 
you want to host the video yourself, that's about all you have to do. 
You can also use a free service provided by Microsoft to host your video 
on a streaming server. You get 4GB for free at http://silverlight.live.com

For ASP.NET, you use the "ASP.NET futures" controls, one of them is a 
Media control allowing to eaqsily integrate the Silverlight video player 
on your ASP.NET web page, including skin customization.

That should get you started!

In the moment, Silverlight supports only WMV and VC1 (which is the codec 
used in Blu-Ray HD disks). You can change the source of the movie to 
anything you like, but of course that implies some programming. It's not 
very difficult to do.

The advantage of using Silverlight to do this instead of Flash is the 
very good integration of Silverlight with ASP.NET. The disadvantage is 
that Silverlight is not released yet, so you would work with pre-release 
code (however Silverlight RC1 has been released last Friday, and 
Microsoft promises that there won't be any more breaking changes in the 
future, so that shouldn't be too painful).

I hope it helps,
Laurent

Silver ligth is beta software and not ready for production sites.
Adobe Flash is a more tested tecnology.
Best regards.

of Flash nearly everyone has its plugin

why can't microsoft include the plugins in the Windows Update?!!!

I bet that, eventually, it will...after the technology matures.

There's tons of features which need to be tested widely,
and perhaps new features to be included...or old/bad ones eliminated.

Give it time...

HI,

Because it's still CTP. For the records, the reason why Silverlight 1.0 
focuses a lot on video is to spread its installation to a maximum of PCs 
in the smallest possible time. Studies have shown that video is the 
medium for which the most people accept to install new software. Given 
that in optimum conditions, Silverlight can be installed in just a few 
seconds, it's going to be available on a lot of PCs soon.

Silverlight is more than just video. Just give it some time and it will 
offer a very interesting alternative to Flash, especially for those 
(like me) who dislike the Flash designer and prefer to use Visual Studio 
for development.

HTH,
Laurent
