One of the most popular ways to get video clips online is using Macromedia’s Flash technology — you store the Flash file on your site, and use an embed tag to place the video into the page. The only thing is, you have to have a way to convert your video files into the Flash format, and you have to be willing to pay for the bandwidth.

If you’re willing to lose a tiny bit of control, you can use a media-streaming service like videoegg.com, and use the HTML code provided by the service in order to embed it on your page. Even better, it’s a free service. There are other services like blip.tv, Revver and YouTube, but you have be careful about the environment…with services like YouTube where almost anything goes, you may not want your viewers to stumble across other items linked through the same site.
