Following Tim Sneath's post on Getting started with Silverlight Streaming.
I downloaded Expression Media Encoder and encoded a short video. The video I imported was not widescreen, so I had to resize it. It had something like a coloured barcode effect down the right hand side after being imported into Media Encoder.
After encoding, it opened a browser to view the results... and wanted to install Silverlight. That's a bit odd, since I already have it installed. Then it wanted to restart, reporting Error 3010, "Silverlight installed successfully, but needs to restart"...
I followed the rest of Tim's instructions and soon had my video uploaded to Silverlight.live.com and available to play on my own web page.
The Expression Media Encoder trial version has a 180 day licence.

Interesting that you had a restart request. I wonder if you had the Feb CTP installed? This is commonly caused by a locked file that can't be replaced because it's in-use.
Thanks, Tim. You are absolutely right, I did have the Feb CTP installed.
It's always good to know the reason why.
