HTML code for my mp4 video

I have downloaded my video and I want to embed it in my site.  How do I get the html code.  I tried:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="221"

HEIGHT="118" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="YOURMOVIENAME.mp4">

<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">

<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">

&lt;EMBED SRC="sample.mov" WIDTH="221" HEIGHT="118" AUTOPLAY="true"

CONTROLLER="false"  PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"&gt;  &lt;/EMBED&gt;  &lt;/OBJECT&gt;     I did put in the name that was sent to me on the download ending with.mp4 but it shows on the site as a square box with a green object in the centre.  How can I embed this file.

Have you ever embedded a video on your webpage before? Did you upload the video to the files section of your webpage?

Where did you get the embed code? From the website admins?

Try to embed a YouTube video on your webpage and see if that will work. Maybe it will point you to what you are doing wrong.

Ok wait a minute I am now officially.......Confused

I have now managed to do this.  Respond with a query if you would like me to post the code.  I did not want the video hosted on a third party site.

There are many ways to show videos on web pages, some work fine with some browsers and not with others, some work with HTML5 but not properly with older versions... It is not really easy to find what works best with all visitors, it will take some advanced lessons in HTML programming, and that will confuse most of the users of this site (myself included).
