For people following this discussion....
it appears that making a video available is fairly simple altho not the easiest to find out about. Most searches want to steer you to fancy softwares that would be great if you wanted to control access and try to prevent users from downloading a copy.
The simplest answer:
is just a simple html link which leaves the viewing work to the browser at the users end.
From there it gets gradually fancier. Specifying which viewer, or putting it in a window embedded in the web page, or requiring the user to allow java or flash instead of using the viewer on their machine.
Here is a simply lowest-level answer I found if someone else wants to do this on their own webspace.

Yeah I know. Im supposed to just do it and create oohs and ahhs about my server instead of continually saying how anyone can. I get slammed alot for that.
GEEK NOTE: this may just be a temporary answer since as of Aug 2008 there is a W3 workshop toward declaring video a first-class citizen of the web instead of an extension.
