Live Smooth HD Encoding...

Well, yeah... You can't do it with Microsoft Expression Encoder 3 for now.

They've introduced functional Live encoding, they've introduced Object Model and SDK that are solid, but they've slipped that little support for Live SmoothHD encoding.

So, what's the buzz, actually who needs live smooth hd?
From what source signal?
Reencode already too low quality from DVB-S sources?

The answer is, we don't need Smooth HD live encoding, we would really benefit from Smooth Standard Definition live encoding, harvesting on many benefits from http default proxy caching to really nice scalability for output bit-rates and of course instant start...

And last, not less important - Add audio scalable smooth sub stream switching support :)
