If you are working with audio and video on the web, you may find useful some test resources in various formats and quality. This collection consists of various permissively licenced works you can use for testing purposes. As a bonus, they’re fun to watch and listen to.

Note that file sizes, compression and quality vary wildly. This is due to using different parameters when encoding, and the codecs themselves evolving over time.
