SugarVOD, SugarDVD Launch New Silverlight Player

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—A brand new custom Silverlight video-on-demand player is now available on SugarVOD.com and SugarDVD.com. The new player is Mac-compatible and allows visitors to stream over 50,000 movies.

Both sites also offer a Windows Media player option.

"The Mac market is growing and we want to ensure that these visitors are able to seamlessly watch any video-on-demand movie on our sites. Silverlight will allow us to provide streaming movies to a larger audience," CEO Jax Smith said.

The new Silverlight player features a full screen mode, bit rate controls and scene toggling. The sites automatically load the new Silverlight player when a VOD movie request is made by a Mac user. The Windows Media player loads by default when a PC user makes a movie request. The sites plan to further upgrade the player in the fall with additional features like scene tagging and bookmarks.

Microsoft's Silverlight is a development platform that allows for rich media applications and business applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. Silverlight is a free plug-in powered by the .NET framework and is compatible across multiple browsers, devices and operating systems, including Macs.
