Creating Video Stream + Audio Editting

I have a video wmv format ready to put up on my site, however I want to embedd it onto the homepage, so that people can watch.

What software do I need to create such a file, what do you need to consider before making the video live (ie bandwidth usage??)

I would also like it if the video would start playing as soon as the page is loaded, and also have a hyperlink to click through or maybe automatically load up the next page.

ok one last thing, I have a video recording of a discussion but there is alot of background noise, is it possible to reduce the background noise and enhance the voices, or is this something only availiable to CSI lol

 

OK, You just need to paste and adjust this code to suit.

<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer'width="320"height="240"

This is a simple one..

<OBJECT ID="Player"
CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95 ">
<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">
<PARAM name="fileName" value="intro.wmv">
</OBJECT>

Thanks alot Tatoos! i will try this out.

Is there anything I should be careful about, bandwidth wise, a friend of mine mentioned that some companies use special streaming companies that will host the files for you. I have my own server, and video is about 30meg at current compression.
