I have never had to put a video on a web page until now. I have converted the videos from the DVDS I have been given in to both .avi and .flv and I have no clue how to display them on my web page. I just want people to be able to see both the videos on the page and press play (no auto start) I have found lots of different codes but none seem to work and many use deprecated elements. If anyone can help would be greatful

http://flowplayer.org/ works well for standard video formats or even http://www.longtailvideo.com

I think you'll find it hard to find many players that support the .avi format, http://www.microsoft...solutions2.aspx might help but I'd recommend using standard formats to make your life easier.
