I am testing some of these now, and frankly I do not get it? Its makes the files twice the size, and still offers lower quality. I know you can add jpg images and links to the vids but let be real here, I can offer downloads of .wmv vid of much better quality and still save BW.

So WFT are you guys just jumping and a stupid bandwagon to keep up with the guy across the street or what? Sorry but looking at the numbers I have in front of me makes me think either I or you are a complete idiot.
You are doing it wrong, thats why. Flv files should never be larger than .wmv files using same bitrate and resolution. Also as already stated compatibility. Also h.264 as was mentioned. Even microsoft knows .wmv has issues. Thats why they are pushing their silverlight model. Want to see flash in action? www.hulu.com and specifically for higher end superb quality www.hulu.com/hd When I can watch a video fullscreen on my 22" monitor at 1680x1050 resolution with 0 buffering time, instant play and be close to HD quality STREAMING I know which direction I should be pushing in for my content.
