Videos - should I include them in my app?

Question

Hey guys,

Thanks to you, I got my working hours calculator on the App Store. :) Now for my next one - I want to make an app that includes video of my series of tutorials. However, I want to know whether it's good form to include the videos directly inside the app or not? If I do, the app size would be something in the region of 80mb as it would include up to 30 minutes of tutorials. Should I be bothered about the size?

Thanks!

EDIT: The app in question would be a tutorial application around voice acting. I have made videos online and wish to include them on an app so people could have a direct video of each of the lessons. Not only that, I would include text tips in a different view. I would include the first 6 episodes in the app so people can view all the lessons in one go and get started.

Answer 1

I'd vote for keeping the videos separate, if you wanted to update them it'd be much easier. The downside would be people distributing them separately if that's an issue.

Answer 2

I agree, keep them separate if you can, but also allow users to download them in app for offline use. As an iPod Touch user, I can attest to the fact that without that, apps are often useless.
