Video Files enhance the online version of
'Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism', they are supplements which improve the reader's
understanding of the paper. In the printed version, which remains the journals
archival version, they should be replaced by a 'typical' figure.
Video files should be supplied in MPEG, AVI or QuickTime formats. When preparing
them, please keep in mind that they should be kept to a reasonable size. Files
larger than 3 to 4 megabytes will take considerable time for most site visitors
to download and, hence, may be a cause of frustration. Therefore, except in
unusual circumstances, files larger than 5 megabytes will be deemed too large
for posting.
