A good example and unless you can think of any reason for the first test 
to pass then the WMV file not to be there when the next test is run. I 
would say no do not run it during subsequent unit tests. Pros/cons are 
difficult for me to say other than you have to trust some things and you 
will test the end-to-end process in your final test.
