    buffering with Windows Media Services

    I just took my first steps into Windows Media Services but i have some problems with the buffering of the stream.

    I send from Expression Encoder 2 SP1 to my publishing point on my Media Server. But when the quality of the video is too high, I get some buffering problems when I'm watching the streamed video with my Windows Media Player. After looking 5 seconds to the stream, the windows media player stops with playing and in the left bottom corner I see the text "buffering". After 3 seconds buffering, the player goes further for a next of 5 seconds of playing and it continously does this.

    Have you considered trying Smooth Streaming?  I think you'll find it a much more pleasant experience than WMS.
