This video just supports my claim that whenever Flash runs smoothly, its full of horrible artifacts because it requires such a low bitrate to work well. Note that when ever the camera pans, the video turns into a pixel grid of about 15 by 15 squares.

Lets see a 600 or 700 mbsec flash file that is as smooth playing and scrolling.

Also, the poor platforms that I referred to below may not allow the user to upgrade to the latest flash application.

With all of my rejection of .wmv files combined with my hopes for a  
single CODEC, I have learned that the number one reason to  
provide .wmv files is for people who do not have the authority to  
install on their machines.

Many people at work do not have access to install. Also people in  
lesser developed countries often sit at cyber cafes and can not  
install software from there either.

Most of these people are on Windows and can by default play .wmv files.

Its a lesser option, but often the only option.
