  MSN Video sample

  I’m curious what they’re using on MSN Video — it’s pretty good and very fast, and apparently not Flash. How would one of us mere mortals do this?

  Interesting that MSN would use Flash? When I right-click on the video, I don’t get any message about the Flash version.

  MSN video is typically WMV embedded in Flash for IE, but Flash video natively for other browsers.
