Your best bet is to go to YouTube and find a video you want to embed... Youtube gives you the Embed code.

Then you can pick it apart and learn how it works. It's really simple.

If you don't want to use YouTube there are other methods to let your users watch your video.

Let's say you want to display yourvideo.avi

You can use the embed-tag:
<embed src="yourvideo.avi" />
(It isn't possible to make this W3C validated. To do so you have to use the object-tag)

The object-tag:
<object data="yourvideo.avi" type="video/avi" />

Or... you can use a hyperlink:
<a href="yourvideo.avi">Play a video file</a>
(with the use of hyperlink the user have to click the "Play a video file")
Hope this can help you :)
