Andy Beach explains, "What the heck is H.264 SVC?"

Last month at Streaming Media East 2010, I caught up with Andy Beach, Chief Evangelist at SeaWell Networks and author of Real World Video Compression, and asked him to explain, "What the heck is H.264 SVC?" Seawell Networks just announced the release of the Lumen 1000, an advanced H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) turnkey appliance for creating video content for multi-platform distribution and advanced adaptive streaming.

@tda95337 thanks, it will be interesting to watch how the adoption of SVC takes shape.. right now the main deployments are in the videoconferencing world with Google Video, Cisco Telepresence and Radvision.
