I am trying to play High Definition (WMV HD) video of 720p with silverlight. But it is not playing. Though I am able to play normal WMV videos in silverlight.
Can anyone please tell me how to do that using XAML and Javascript.
I believe the audio profile may be the problem, Silverlight does not support the professional audio profile, you can use Windows media encoder to re-encode the file with a lower audio profile. Check this forum
thread for supported and unsupported formats.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I am very new to all this. Want to know, if I have a video file(WMV), how should I know these details (audio profile etc.) in it. Also If i want to maintain the same quality in video (the video is of WMV HD format of 720p and
i want to retain this quality). Please guide me how should I go about.
You can open the file in Windows media player, and choose File -> Properties to see the media properties.
To re-encode the file, you can use
Windows Media Encoder to re-encode the file. Windows Media Encoder has many options, you can try different combinations till you reach the optimal quality/size that fits your needs
Thanks
