It's easiest to embed videos into your site via a site like YouTube. Store your videos there so you don't have to store them or stream them. They have the html code for you. You just put it in your site.
Encode the movie before uploading it to the site. Use the best file format for your software.
YouTube recommends quicktime, mpg2, or mpg4.
The sites can typically convert your file to whatever file format they use. The site will optimize it for you.
Good video storage sites:
vimeo - Not only can you store your video, but others can download them. (You can't download from YouTube.)
YouTube
TeacherTube
SchoolTube
You can also embed video from Hulu.
To embed it in your site, put it in the body of your page as an object/embed tag.
Good to put a div tag around it. Dreamweaver puts a p tag around it and treats it like a paragraph of text, but it should be a div tag. Put the specifications for your div tag and a specific class in your css and it will always know what borders, colors, etc. to put around your audio or video. For example:
put your html code from the site here
(You can put any title for your class that you choose in the quotes.)
