Can you be more specific? What video formats? This can all be done with HTML's embed or object tags.

Will a moderator edit the title of this please?

You have to use a helper application to actually stream the video. Which program, e.g. Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Real Player, etc. are you using?
Can you show the code that you tried?

OK, try this link. Does it work for you? You'll have to have the Windows Media Player plugin.
