Maybe 1/3 of the MAC users can't seem to make their shit play WMV's.
FUCK THEM because they represent such a small (less than 1%) piece of the pie it makes no sense to have almost twice the file size as necessary videos to satisfy such a small slice.
It does more harm than good to do what you are saying.

Examples:

It's a fact that if you have 2 identical quality clips of wmv and mpeg that the WMV will be much much smaller in file size. (almost half)

So that means a dial up user loves them much more because it drastically reduces his download time.

Also for cheap dsl users can stream/ play without much buffering if any.

Saves a lot of B/W

Delivers the product to the customer faster.

I can keep going.......

Exception: If the members area is all mpg then by all means use mpg promos.
I offer both, mpeg and wmv. Since the member is already a paying customer, I think he deserves a full comfort, BW is almost for free when we talk about members.
