I have a few questions about internet video options.

1) How do i get the Windows media player or quicktime player to pop up on the page i want to play the video on?(i.e.- small player in the middle of the page with play/stop/pause controls)

2) Do i have to do that with streaming video or can i just upload to video to my server and then provide a link to the video on my webpage which would then take me to another page with the viewer on that page?

3) The way I am currently doing video on the internet is like this, upload video file onto host server, make a link to it on webpage, clicking the link opens up windows media player and plays the video. However, quality is very poor, is there a way to increase the quality?? It's not streaming video so I thought video quality would be better but its rather poor.

Any info would be excellent! Thanks in advance.
Ben
