That’s probably because it’s not a very widely used codec, especially for HD, when compared to WM or H.264.
That said you may want to do a search over at the doom9 forums, there’s some stuff comparing VP7 encodes with H.264 encodes.

You were referring to ‘Compression Master’ and ‘Compression Engine’, not the ‘WMV Component’.
Compression Master has 2pass VBR, the WMV Component only has 1 pass.
You bought the ‘wrong’ product; that second VBR pass available in CM could make all the difference in quality for you.
You might want to check out the manual for CM for some more help:

(More keyframes can equal higher temporal quality at the expense of bigger files/higher data rate).
Good luck..

Your post evolved and is the better for it.
Popwire can output great quality, it does 2 pass VBR and supports Intel Macs…The website has all that information, and more…only a few clicks away… https://www.popwire.com, you can even download it and try it out to see the quality and speed for yourself!!!

No. (Needs to be Windows Media compatible)
No. (Incompatible and ‘competitive’ formats)

The file size limit might be an individual file size limit imposed by the phone operator, it’s unlikely a technical/memory limit of the device or it may just be that your client is mistaken.
The obvious choice given this ‘limitation’ is to lower the data rate; at QCIF 12-15fps, you should still be able to get decent quality output at 250kbps.

Not trying to be funny but you’ve got the best chance of getting ‘high quality’ output from using a high quality source. That aside, very few people would consider anything at QCIF 12-15fps high quality. 😉
That said, you have to work with your client to determine what is the mazimum data rate (and resolution if it’s capable of more than QCIF) accepted by the playback device.
FCP comes with a QT Pro serial number so it should be unlocked.
It’s difficult for me to offer an further advice on getting great looking material on the handset as so much depends on the content (sports, drama etc), the handsets capabilities, your source format etc etc.

sing Quicktime Pro conversion is the easiest/cheapest way of creating 3GPP/3G2 formatted content, however it’s not the best quality. Xenon provides the highest quality the last time I did an evaluation https://www.vidiator.com/products/transcoder.asp
Sadly however, it’s only available for the PC.Video AllSorts

Sorenson and MPEG 4 are both default codecs installed as part of Quicktime. No sensible person would remove them.

AFAIK, WMV9 is backwards compatible with player 6.4 or later:
