Hi, Jenifer,

Do you wish to deliver a video library (whether new or existing content) to both Flash and Silverlight clients as progressive downloads? If so, I would recommend using Bit Rate Throttling (www.iis.net/extensions/BitRateThrottling), which is very simple to configure on IIS. This provides a streaming-like experience, but with the simplicity and cost benefits of a Web download.

If you are looking for something else, please define the scenario a bit more, so we can point you in the right direction.

Does "Bit Rate Throttling" work with ARR?

I have tested with "default configuration" on iis 7 servers.

From the windows task manager, I can see network graph goes like this

1. When disabled:
           _________
begin ____|         |_____ end

2. When enabled and tested with an WMV (http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/9/0/3902e391-734e-470f-806b-4d779f07749f/PS_DEMO_320x180_1MB.wmv),
   _   _   _   _
__||__||__||__||_...

+-10 seconds of no data transmission followed by 10 or more blocks of data, in few seconds interval, and the bandwidth is un-throttled even for each block of transmission.

3. When I tested with my own test .mp4 file, player waits until time-out and in fact there are no data transamission at all.

Can some one please tell me what could be the problem? or maybe can't use Bit Rate Throttling with ARR?
Thank you

Hi, gkhniis,

WMS supports streaming of .asf, .wma, .wmv, .jpg, .jpeg, and .mp3 file types. Unfortunately, it does not support .wav or .avi files. Please see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731194.aspx for more information.

If you don't mind me asking, where did the quoted file types come from? If that list is on a Microsoft site, I will get it corrected.

If you are delivering on-demand videos and wish to deliver .avi files, consider using the IIS7 Bit Rate Throttling media extension, which supports eleven media file types out of the box. Learn more at http://www.iis.net/extensions/bitratethrottling, and let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
