WM Files Analysis Tool

For encoding params tweeking, general analysis or just being curious, try this tool
WMSnoop.

Excellent free utility for WM streams analysis.

And then, when you see all the details and conclude that utility is nothing special :)
Then click "Snoop Details"

Best by frame analysis I've ever seen.

Cool :)

Excellent :).
Good competition is the best thing for market.

Political Improve :D

Let me quote:
"Beta2 adds improved support for server side playlists on Windows Media Services"...

Excellent, now let me finish the quote :D
"(previous releases only supported client-side playlists)."

It always puts a smile on my face.
But, never the less, new Silverlight beta 2 is out.
And remember, this is Google killer :D

Half a decade...
