How would I go about making a video playable within a user's browser? I have an already-existing site and a video file for the site. I'd like a user to go to a certain page and the video would play directly on that page without the user having to download the file and play it with an external program.

A good example are movie trailer pages– you go to the page and, after loading (streaming?), the video plays directly in the browser.
