I agree that the education and understanding are hard to find. It's not entirely intuitive, esp to troubleshoot (in my opinion). However, there are a number of decent resources around. The Abilene (Internet2) network's NOC webpage has a list of useful resources and a "multicast cookbook" intended to show how to configure and verify your edge router with native multicast (for Cisco IOS; sorry, others). perhaps that'll help.
