You have a few choices to make. The most important is streaming vs. progressive download vs. download.
streaming: the video streams in real time from a streaming server (i recommend www.playstream.com). Use Real or Windows Media Progressive Download: Video starts playing during download when the player feels that it can keep up. You can do this with QuickTime, Real or Windows Media but you'll need to sort out MIME types and metafiles for Real or Windows Media. Dawnload: You can just download the file to play on the client machine. This works for the big 3 but works very well using MPEG-1 (playable in any player). Most companies don't bother to embed Real or Windows Media. To get an embed tag for QuickTime go to www.metroencoding.com/viewdemos.html and view source on any of the QuickTime demos.
