This month .NET magazine is celebrating 200 issues of the world’s best-selling magazine for web designers and developers with an exclusive interview with Stephen Fry.
Stream UK encoded the video and built a Silverlight player and custom install for .NET magazine. The Silverlight player takes full advantage of Microsoft’s Smooth Streaming technology. Smooth streaming enables you to provide video that adapts to each user’s connection and supports 1080p.

The video is available in full HD quality, but if your connection or computer does not allow this to be played back, the experience will automatically optimise.
