I switched entirely to DivX when I got my HTC Tornado, and that was only 200Mhz!
Honestly, nowadays I don't even touch WMV. I don't even have any lying around to test with since the format is practically obsolete in my opinion.

On your 6700, test a 350kbps Divx encoded vid side by side with a 350kpbs WMV. You'll see the DivX delivers sharper and higher quality video at the same frame than Windows Media 9 encoding does. But anyway, this is waaay off topic. I've never encountered anything that would imply the Qualcomm chips wouldn't play wmv just as well if not better than the Xscales of yesteryear.
dishe,
I appreciate your comments, but I am aware of what works and doesn't on the Apache, I wasn't asking about the Apache.

I was wondering whether any of you have tried WMV on the Touch Pro? And what results you got?

FYI, Don't take my light post count around here as a guide to my skill level, I was moderating PPC stuff before ppcgeeks came on line.

Thanks,
Omni
