i want to start displaying videos on my site and i'm not sure of the easiest/best way to do it.

i've read alot of people like flash better than, say windows media player, but so far i have got better quality from media player. I am not that experienced yet and maybe just need to get better with the flash.

what is the best software to use for creating flash with video? i see alot of programs that do this, but can't i just do it in flash? if so, how?

while any help is much appreciated i guess i really would like to start by knowing which is the popular favorite means of displaying small video clips on my site.

thanks in advance.
