Embedding a video into a web page used to be a real challenge in the early days of the web. You had different formats to chose from, other visitors might not have the proper software installed to see the video, and bandwidth was still limited, as many people were still on dialup. Fast forward to 2011. Most people now have broadband, and although there are still many video formats, the most commonly used method to embed video today is via the Flash player and an .flv file which is provided via an external host, such as YouTube.
