Hi,

Big and heavy? thanks to Google, they are taking good care of YouTube :D
that is why, we should not worry :)

Usually, when I suggest anything, it is for 2-in-1 usage ;)

1- Make the life of new user much easer
2- Spread the word of education and Linux on the internet - many people are
not installing Linux because they are so much worried but when they will
see a video and see how much that is easy, they will change their minds.

Having all that said, you just need to include the 'link' of that video
right NEXT to the Download Link on any page (Wiki or Website).

Of course, the old classic approach should remain, that is the 'text' note.
However, trust me, when any user 'watches' a video, it will be printed on
his/her mind :)

Why would we actually 'waste' someone's time? this note must be BEFORE he
even download the ISO not while he/she is installing it :)

Thanks!
