Sound
and Video Clips
There is no doubt
that the use of sound and video clips is a potentially useful feature
in future web site development. However their use is small at present
because of the limited availability of high speed internet access. Try
using the video clips at the BBC as an example.
If you wish to run
continuous sound or video clips (known as streaming) , you will also
need much greater capacity on your server, as well as specialist software.
For these reasons
we would recommend a typical small business avoid them for the time
being. Once high speed access becomes the norm, then it would be worth
reviewing. In the meantime you can find more information about sound
