Hello,

We typically distribute both WMV and quicktime files.   I'm not at all
familiar with Windows Media Services but I have it up and running on my 2008
server.   It can stream WMV files to a client but I'll probably also want to
stream MOV files.   Is this possible through Windows Media Services or will
I need another product.

Hello Boe!

Windows Media Services doesn't support MOV files to be streamed, you can use
the Encoder to convert them to wmv before streaming.

a second options is to install Media Pack for IIS 7 to enable Progressive
Download, that is the media is downloaded an played in the client computer
by any of his supporting applications. e.g. for MOV the client must have
QuickTime, with Media Pack for IIS 7 you get support for: asf, .avi, .flv,
.mov, .mp3, .mp4, .rm, .rmvb, .wma, .wmv

I suggest: http://edge.technet.com/Media/Streaming-Media-with-Server-2008/

Can I have both installed? - I'd like to try out media pack without messing
up the stuff I set up in media services.

Thanks - I'm trying to find any info about installing the media pack.  I see
info about installing the bit throttling but nothing about installing the
media pack.
