I've been helping out Jan Ozer from Streaming Media (and many other publications) explore the new codec and its many settings. As part of that we did this interview about VC-1, Silverlight, and Windows Media. We also talk about our forthcoming VC-1 SDKs.And here it is.

Well, I've been a lousy blogger of late, but I've been crazy busy behind the scenes on a number of fronts. The big news is that I've just finished by first week on Silverlight team as Principal Video Strategist. While this shifts by focus a little from being media format to technology platform…
