data compression programs

[Rusher]

I want to embed some short videos on my website. Is it a good idea to use a data compression program when I do that? What compression programs are best?

The FLV and F4V (H.264) video formats offer technological and creative benefits that let you fuse video together with data, graphics, sound, and interactive control. FLV and F4V video let you easily put video on a web page in a format that almost anyone can view.

Flash Video FLV files usually contain material encoded with codecs following the Sorenson Spark or VP6 video compression formats.

I prefer to do it in HTML5. you can compress your video to H.264 then use HTML5 tags to embed your video
