Web video files can take a very long time to download and display because they contain an enormous amount of information. If you plan to use computer animation tools that are supported by Netscape's browser via plug-ins, you can serve up inline video that uses proprietary compression methods for even smaller file sizes. Note, however, that they will be viewable only to those using both Netscape and the appropriate video plug-in. In general, keeping the reins on memory hogging means using a smaller video-capture window, reducing the frame rate or increasing compression. I applied links to these Adobe Persuasion files, but they're not downloading correctly to the users.
MIME types can describe text, graphics and all sorts of other application formats.
But if your Web server isn't properly configured with a MIME type that specifies the kind of data in your Persuasion files, it won't know how to handle these specific file formats. If you still prefer to serve the files themselves, consult with your system administrator on how to configure your server to recognize these additional MIME types. As your visitors are discovering, pressing the Back button will return them to the URL of the last entire screen or frameset they viewed, not the URL of the previous frame. Because navigating within frames may not be very intuitive, you may want to include navigation instructions in a separate frame. Check out Netscape's Navigating Sites With Frames , which gives more detailed directions as well as advice on bookmarking and printing specific frames.
