So, I have never put any video other than a Youtube video on a website. How would I do so otherwise? I want to put the video on the same host as my site. As for Flash player, is this a good one? How do I embed it? What type of file format does the video need to be in for Flash player? I know you can embed videos other ways "wmv, quicktime, etc), but I don't know how. Any suggestions, how do I do it, and what file format would I need? I would prefer to use Flash Player unless there is a good reason not to. As much info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise do a search for FLV and options regarding it.
Find a Youtube-esque service that allows for more space
Find a friend with Flash skills.
Flash is one of the defactos for web video because of it's multi-platform and widespread use.
However, if you can't get it done you can always revert back to basic formats such as Windows Media or Quicktime.
Microsoft shells out a free Media Encoder which will prep most basic video formats for progressive download from a web server.
Quicktime videos as far as I know perform the same thing by default without special encoding.
If you do either of the last two it's as simple as putting the file on the server and hoping your host has their MIME types set.
