Best way to put video on the internet?

[pforsbergfan9]

What is the best way to get my videos put on the internet? Im working for a client who wants video on his site and I'm not sure how to put this on the internet. I can use flv's, quicktime, or windows media player files. Can anyone tell me the best one and how to do it? I'm kinda new when it comes to video. Thanks in advance everyone.

i´d recommend flash video and the player from jeroenwijering.com

I like the Wimply Player (http://www.wimpyplayer.com/). It's very easy to use.

Hi pforsbergfan9,

I'm no video expert, but I'm with jogol on this one. Here is a link to the jeroenwijering.com player that I'm using on my site:

It has a couple of nice features like full screen mode and start/stop by clicking on the player screen instead of having to find and click the play button.

One issue that a friend reported to me is that when he loads the above message in his browser, he doesn't get the full screen player button. I'm not sure why this happens... does anyone know?

If you are using Windows XP / Vista, you can download this flash video player creator (http://video.a4desk.com), which can automatically convert AVI, MPG, MOV files into FLV (streaming video) format. You can then choose a video player skin, and use the software to generate a HTML file with the embedding code.

Everyone who has a computer has a media player that can play MPeg files but not everyone has FLASH installed or enabled and theirs plenty of people who would prefer not to install FLASH.
