Any sample code or thoughts? If anyone could give me some samplecode I would appreciate it

Answer 1

You could try something like this (completely untested):

function showVideo(vidFile) {
    var vidElem=document.createElement("video");
    vidElem.setAttribute("src", vidFile);
    vidElem.play();
}

And then invoke it like this:

showVideo("your_movie_file.mov");

Answer 2

1. create your .html file
2. embed the following code :

<video src="your_movie_file.mov" controls="controls"> your browser does not support the video tag <video>

3. upload your file to your webserver.
4. test your files. (make sure your movie file in your webserver too...
