@Katie:You have to encode video into Smooth in order to get to HLS. We do introduced a new function called dynamic packing and it produces HLS and Smooth streaming content based on H.264 on the fly. And only Mp4 is stored in the storage account. you could check out more in this video: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Azure-Media-Services-Tutorials/Introduction-to-dynamic-packaging

Code sample for this video (Part I and Part II) is posted at http://sdrv.ms/XTHhpf. In order to use this project, you will need to modify the following things:

• Please change the Key and Accname when you run your demo
• Place this Azure.wmv into your local drive and change the _singleInputFilePath
• Place the Mp4 to Smooth Streams.xml into your local drive and change the _configureFilePath

@tsyselsky:  working on producing more materials..

@Residentx: This is not the only way - if you mean by using the Task Present. We also have a new function called dynamic packing which packing MP4 into Smooth Streaming on the fly (you don't need to store Smooth Streaming asset). Here is more information: http://blog-ndrouin.azurewebsites.net/?p=1721. 

@Residentx:Hope you fixed your code problem. I saw your post on the forum.

@ZippyV: Hi, live streaming is currently available for TAP customers as a beta program. We are working on releasing it later.
