Video files

[Jeffff]

Hi Everyone
I do not know if anyone can help me or not but I own a website where I want to upload some video clips we are planning on making with a $300.00 cannon video Digital tape camera (which the camera store said would be perfect for the web). When I upload from the camera into Windows Movie maker on my computer it seems fine but when I save the file and e-mail it to my web designer he puts them in his program and they come out of focus, jumpy (poor quality)
He is at a loss and says I am not saving the video in the right type of video file, he hasn't got a clue whats wrong.

My questions are;

What file do I save them as to get the best quality? For use in flash and would you suggest that I get flash too to check before I e-mail the videos to him?

If someone could explain the process to me I would appreciate it.

Thank You! Hope someone can help?

I just completed a golf instruction website where (1) there are sample videos displayed throughout the site and (2) the video lessons are downladable.

For the videos displayed on the site, we created a video with a Sony digital camera in DiVx format, which I converted into WMV format. Then uploaded the videoto google video and embeded the video in the web page.

When working with video files you need to be sure you/your web person is not changing the frame rate or increaing the width/height of the video.

You can convert the video to flash... but why use your bandwidth when Google, youtube, yahoo...and others will host your video for you?
