MMP Video Editor TM Task updated to IIS Transform Manager 1.0 Beta(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by ejadib(185) 10 months, 27 days ago

A few months ago, Microsoft published the Beta version of the IIS Transform Manager. This new release contains an incredible set of new features, explained here by Chris Knowlton. Back in the Alpha days, I wrote an IIS Transform Manager Task that takes an Microsoft Media Platform Video Editor (formerly Rough Cut Editor) Project XML file (which includes the EDL) as input, and outputs a new encoded video that represents the MMP Video Editor edits. read more...

Rough Cut Editor (RCE) and IIS Transform Manager: Best Friends(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by ejadib(185) 1 year, 9 months ago

A month ago, Microsoft published the alpha version of the IIS Transform Manager. The Transform Manager provides simple integrated video encoding and batch conversion of video files to the IIS Smooth Streaming format. It does this quite nicely, as it provides an extensible platform for scheduling and running multiple tasks in sequence on an IIS server using a local task scheduler. It enables "watch folder" job submission, queuing, management, integrated media transcoding/transmuxing, and batch-encryption of on-demand audio and video files This post is result of exploring the feasibility of using the IIS Transform Manager to take an RCE Project XML file (which includes the EDL) as input, and creating the necessary task to output a new encoded video that represents the RCE edits? read more...

Progressive Enhancement in Web Applications(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by juliandominguez(120) 2 years, 3 months ago

Progressive Enhancement (PE) is an approach for building Web Applications that starts from the perspective that a user browser experience will support a minimum functionality, this is called base line, but has hooks to allow functional enhancements when a browser can support them. PE benefits users by supporting older browsers, but also supporting users with modern browsers and technologies by providing them an improved experience. The progressive enhancement and its counterpart, Graceful Degradation, are approaches that can help rich Web Applications support more browsers and have a wider reach. read more...

Claims based Authentication & Authorization: The Guide(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by mwoloski(160) 2 years, 9 months ago

Eugenio announced yesterday the kickoff of a new guide from patterns & practices in which I’m collaborating: Claims based Authentication & Authorization Guide. This is not a new topic as Eugenio suggests in his blog, but it’s getting more and more attention because: •Technology is more mature, hence it’s easier to implement claim-based identity •Enterprises are failing to control the amount of different identity repositories, leading to higher provisioning/deprovisioning costs, security problems, etc. •End users want simpler user experiences and less passwords •The cloud makes all these even more challenging ... read more...
