How to embed local hosted videos ?

first of all hello digital point ! this is my first post here XD

I'd need some help in php or html
I made a video website where the videos are hosted in the server . I made all the site , its not a downloaded script
when i tried to put the video i had no ideea what to do
I made before a div called "player" & i sized it 640x480 which is the size of the videos . then inside it i wrote

<?php include ("video.avi"); ?>

Code (markup):

but nothing showed up . after that i tried

</link href "video.avi">

Code (markup):

but still nothing . maybe because it should be .flv ?
also if i go manually to the file it plays in browser with vlc
can somebody tell me how to embed it or what should i do ?
thanks

EDIT : also if posible would there be a way to make only 1 page for all episodes instead one page for each ?

 

If you want to link a video from another site to your site than you just have to embed the video for that simply open the web page where the video is press Ctrl+u than press Ctrl+f and search for iframe tag this tag is used for videos from these tags you will find your video source.
