Which video format are u talkin about ? If Flash: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="movie.swf" width="550" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="FILENAME.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> </object> Code (markup):
The vidoes open in WMP. Im also possibly thinking about a youtube type of website, with my own content.
I think you should upload all the videos to youtube, and then embed them to your website. Since you have a lot of videos - I would upload them to YouTube first - and then embed them to the website. Videos take up a lot of space, and by multiplying that by 1000 - you get a lot of space to use. Use YouTube.
I use this www[dot]gdd.ro/gddflvplayer.html You just download it, upload it to your server and follow the instructions. It comes with an embed coder that allows you to just enter in the movie specs (height, width, movie title) etc that you want and it will generate the code for you. It also allows you to add short clips in front of the video for ads and stuff. Pretty cool and looks nice.
Convert them to FLV (with free Video4Web Converter)and make FLV player to stream them on your website. Here is the program you can use - http://www.playerdiy.com/ It is a Flash video player creator for Web. This is tutorial --http://www.playerdiy.com/support/tutorial/customize-flash-video-player.html
Hey Crissco! If you are wanting to host your videos on a PHP generated/maintained website, you should consider what I like to call a "video sharing script". If you don't have your own server and are on a shared or virtual dedicated server with a web host - You may have something called Fantastico, which offers automated installment for "scripts" like Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, etc. Sometimes the web host will pre-load video sharing scripts inside of Fantastico. If none are displayed then you may also have something called InstantVideo Installer, which is much like Fantastico but built only for video sharing/uploading scripts. This installer usually includes two or more scripts like "PHPMotion" and/or "VidiScript". These two scripts, if I remember correctly, are both open-source or at least free to download. If you don't have the InstantVideo Installer package I am sure that you could google "PHPMotion" and/or "VidiScript" or even "Open Source Video Sharing Scripts" and get all of it sorted out quickly. Almost all of the popular ones are built with PHP/MySQL. On a side note, I have tested both of the scripts mentioned above and they work quite well! They convert videos (with a specific range of acceptable formats) into the appropriate format and also display them in the proper video player. Hope this helps!

Right, Moyea web player is good. But now I use Moyea PlayerBox, because it is free and it is as good as moyea web palyer, even better. Maybe you can have a try too.
Moyea Web Player also offers free version - http://www.playerdiy.com/downloads/free-flv-player/ I have use Moyea Web Player for a long time, and as I know, playerbox is a new program that is released this year, so I believe Moyea Web Player is better than playebox.
