When video is first saved from your digital camera, they are normally in 640x480 pixels resolution and in AVI format. This resolution is not only way too big to display on Internet but it's file size is way too big and it will take you forever to upload. Also the file format is incompatible with Internet.

To ensure your video plays properly on Internet, it will need to be reduced in size and also need to be converted to FLV format.
