I am working on an update to my iPhone app and I would like to add very quick video tutorials on how to do things in the app, e.g. how to back up & restore. What's the best way to do this? I could link to online tutorials but I don't want to kick any of my users who lack multitasking out of the app. I am thinking about including the video files within the app itself (as .mov or .mp4 files) but I am not sure if i can do this without making the app too big to download. What do you think is the best way to go about doing this?
A:
How about recording an example tutorial video and seeing what size it comes out with. It's a much easier decision to make if you know what filesizes you're going to expect.

It looks like the tutorials will be in the realm of 3-6 MB. But I could theoretically reduce the video quality. I will probably have 4-5 tutorials max.

Ok, so the next decision is this. How important is it that users can download your app over the air?
