Default Flash and validation of code plus useage

Hi,

A little help please on a couple of questions -

Firstly I would like to add a flash banner to my site - basically as it is alot smaller than the same animated gif would be ... but when I do so using dreamweaver it adds the following line which I presume the second part of it is the "if you haven't got flash then you need to download it" and the quality + the size ...

<embed src="/home/dvdcom/public_html/animation/dvd1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="60">

When adding the above code to my page it no longer validates?? Is there a way round that as I don't want any invalid code on my site (just good housekeeping before I get a rant about not needing to have valid code)....

Also am I doing this right - I have steered away from flash for ages as I didnt believe I wanted anyone to have to stop when they came to my site and download flash.. however am I right in saying that 99% of people have it now and this shouldn't be a problem in adding a flash banner to my site??

All help much appreciated.
