    Hi guys,
    I am just after starting a new job been asked to encorporate a video onto a web page. The idea is that when a user clicks on an online help topic they will be directed to a short help video.

    I am not sure what format the video would be in, perhaps .avi. I am sure it can be converted anyway if this is an issue.

    I am not sure where to start on this one and would appreciate any help/pointers any of you can give me.

    Thanks
    Derick

    Cheers guys,

    Can the flash video just be embedded in to the HTML?

    Would you have any links where I could see an example of this?

    Thanks again.

    You could also upload the video onto youtube and then just embed the link? May be easiest option possibly.

    That definitely sounds the easiest thing to do, and I don't think it would look much less professional.
