Just seems like using mpegs is so much easier then all the hoops that you all are going through to use wmv files.

There are advantages to .wmv files that .mpeg files don't have. I think most people prefer the .wmv size versus quality, although, for small files, I haven't seen a huge difference.

However, the particular reason I am thinking of, I would love to have people hotlinking my videos. Heck, I would even host sites that got the videos downloaded.
