We use both flv and wmv. The flash for the instant gratification and the wmv for the large framesize and bitrate videos (1280x720 at 4Mbps and our 720x408 medium size.These sizes might have issues streaming at those bitrates). A lot of people are using shit flv encoders and making poor quality Flvs. If you are making Flvs, use a real encoder and don't use ffmpeg. Also, until downloading flv's and standalone flv players become more popular, I wouldn't make the transition to an all flv tour.
