I am slowly adding videos to many of my simple HTML sites. Without the videos they load 1-2 seconds. With the videos everything appears to load just as fast but the browser still shows as "transferring data" for 15+ seconds after everything has loaded or appears to have loaded.

I have the videos loaded to the same server. They are not set to auto start. They are .wmv with simple windows viewer.

Will this harm my site speed in Google's eyes? If so how can I stop this load? I used "page speed" with Firefox and it ranks it 92/100. GWT has not crawled the site since I added the video.

Any advice / input is appreciated.
