There are a bunch of different ways to do this.

Here is a very easy and free way to get started: http://www.freevideocoding.com/

Or you can try Youtube or Google video. I'm sure you'll get even more ideas on this thread but these are all easy and free.

Have you considered having a professional build the site? Your company image is so important, I believe it's worthwhile to pay a pro to do that type of work and make a really fantastic site. I know budgets are tight when you're starting up, though.

try using this code:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="380" width="640">
<param name="enablejavascript" value="true" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourvideo.mov" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" /> <embed height="380" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourvideo.mov" type="video/quicktime" width="640" controller="true" autoplay="true" bgcolor="#000000" enablejavascript="true"></embed>
</object>

Don't forget Vimeo. They allow embedding and you can even host HD video there. It's free too! I have been thrilled with the quality (even though I do still use flash video on my site too). You can even set up password protected folders for client previews/approvals.

I think there is a thread on Vimeo on here somewhere. Just go to vimeo.com to sign up, simple as that.

Thanks all! Vimeo is my backup plan. And as for a pro. design, my design is fairly good for an "amateur" and is nothing to be snubbed at. But I appreciate the advice
