Silverlight Video Player that plays .MP4 & .FLV

I am currently using the Silverlight 2 Video Player to stream videos. I have been very pleased with it but it only seems to stream .WMV files. Does anyone know if there is a good Silverlight video player that will stream other types of video files, especially .MP4 & .FLV? I would be happy to use Silverlight 3 if necessary.

EDIT: Because I like this player and have not found a great option, I am considering encoding files as I receive them so that they will always be streamed later as a .WMV. Unless I determine a good player (I am considering flash at this point), I will have to go down this road.

Where do I find more documentation? It may not be worth researching if I cannot verfiy that it can play .MP4 files.

Just found this Silverlight Media Framework which looks interesting and more robust than the Silverlight Video 2 Player I was using.

Silverlight belongs to Microsoft, so it only plays wmv. It is recommended to use Flash technology for online video streaming.

Flash belongs to Adobe, so it only plays flv. It is recommended to use Silverlight technology for online video streaming.Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it.
