Are multiple formats viable anymore?

With the popularity of .mp4, which can play on pc, no prob, is it
even viable anymore to have .mp4, .mov, .wmv files? Seems like
I'm just wasting server space at this point...

what say you?

I could play all those formats for 10 years on my PC, so I do not think they are necessary.
Unless it has to do with various sizes.

.mp4 is a catch all for desktops and many mobile users, so I don't think all the others are needed. Perhaps if you're covering more mobile users you will need more options, but for desktops and the bulk of smart phone users, mp4 does it.

.mp4 is pretty much the gold standard now... except for html5 streaming in firefox and opera (possibly other less popular browsers as well)... so if you're going to go with html5 streaming then you need mp4 + webm to cover most/all browsers...

ogv for older versions of opera/firefox as well but we find it not worth it since people can/should just upgrade their browsers... so we're sticking with mp4 + webm (starting with the launch of Trike Patrol's new design next week, then all of our sites over the next few months)...

I've been wanting to drop wmv for awhile now but many members still prefer that over mp4 for some reason.

Yeah all you need is mp4, works on Mac, PC, Android, iPhone, iPad, etc. so really no need for anything else.

same with me, I think I will also delete all smaller wmv files which also accumulate to the same size as the full wmv files I used to upload as parts for "slower connections" - I would think most internet access is now broadband related in some respect, viewing websites on a dial up seems so 10 years ago!

there are apps that let you download for the ipad, at least, not sure about PC tabs, but I would assume so...
