In addition to supporting Windows Media Video 7 and 8, Silverlight supports VC-1 - a standard which was defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
With Silverlight, you can stream 720p video on the web. Highly efficient decoding of video content means content owners can deliver higher resolution video.
