Video to our website

I work helping a business promote their websites. We've already developed a program for school fundraising. We provide a website for the school organization to use for all of their sales.

But we are looking for a way to easily add a video to our sales website http://FundraiserForHealthyLife.com. Do you have any recommendations?

I suggest you convert your video to Flash (which is an .flv type file).
There are many convert programs available, some free, some shareware.

Then, you use a free Flash video player such as Flowplayer to show
the video(s) online. Most people with hi-speed access and newer
computers can view them with no extra plug-ins.

Trying to find a Flowplayer example ...
Try viewing some videos here: http://www.tormented.tv
That uses the FlowPlayer Free Flash Video Player.

All of their video files are .flv type files.

I second what mlseim said, although I would use JW FLV player because of its versatility in terms of what files it can play and the overall robustness and expandability of it. Here's their website (oh and its open source, totally free): http://www.longtailvideo.com/

You can also have the video hosted on www.vimeo.com and then embed it, to get around hosting it yourself!
