Everywhere I go where I see videos using SilverLight, I shout so hard that the windows of my room are bout to break.It's either a little window where you see absolutely nothing or you have to be full screen where the resolution is as crappy as beeing in window mode.So if I'm in full screen mode, I can see a video but I would like to do something else BUT, in window mode, it's too small to see something and in full screen mode, you can't do anything else
PLEASE will we ever see FLOATING windows so we can resize the video the size we want it to be ?AT LEAST make your SilverLight control just a bit bigger and let us resize the video to the max of the control.
ANYTHING but the limited size people offers with SilverLight videos.

Not sure this is the right forum for this, but it sounds like a dualscreen setup would be your solution :-)

Thanx for the idea.I would still be in full screen in the second monitor.
I just don't accept the idea of beeing STUCK in 2 modes. SilverLight is just to great to let the web masters make a single video stuck in concrete with nothing more then going full screen
Also I didn't mention it but having the video the size we want often help to see it the best our eyes can see.Too big and you have to step back or too small and there's nothing you can really see.
Whatever I can say, I just don't understnad why it would be so difficult to make it works in a floating window or at least make your SilverLight control BIGGER and let us resize the video.
Ah yeah sure CLICK ON THE DOWNLOAD button and look it for yourself in Media Player. Yeah right !Getting rid of the great Silverlight experience by the same way !

I'm pretty sure the reason is performance. It's very expensive to stretch the video, and in most performance related blogposts/sessions, they will tell you to not scale the video unless in fullscreen.

I like it in full screen, but often I want to work along side of the video, but as soon as I touch something else the window goes back to small. Isn't there a way to make it stay full screen even when it doesn't have the focus?

WOW this is what I'm talking about. And believe me the web master here at SilverLight.net should do the same for video tutorials in the site

There's a video in there. Look in the Deep Zoom stuff. You'll see a video with 4 arrow. We don't ask too much just beeing able to have the videothe size we want it to
I say BRAVO to the guy that did this.
