Just my opinion.
I agree new wmv compression is pretty decent but you lose cross platform support as well as slower machines render choppy due to more processing power needed. I have a windows mobile hp4155 with a 400mhz processor and it decodes a 240x320 wmv choppy almost regardless of the quality settings. But I dont use any compression unless I have to, all of my content and dvds are stored uncompressed mpeg2/vob.
