Audio/Video
- You should try to keep audio and movie files small enough to load "reasonably quickly" on personal workstations over busy networks. Weigh the trade-off between the information or stimulation created by video and sound vs. slow download.
- Where necessary, indicate the file type or the file size of linked sounds and movies. This helps users decide whether they want to start a download.
- To help make your pages available to physically disabled persons, place an anchor to a page with a text transcript or description of the sound right next to the anchor for the sound.
