I would go with HTML5 as Silverlight is phasing out now. Further, you can find good support material on net for HTML5 as it is upcoming and supported on all the browsers (to some extent.)

Ok thanks....but even if we are doing through html5..we need c# code right??? and the streaming can be done in sql???

SQL can be used to store video and C# to retrieve the video and set the control source.
