PLS HELP.. Want/Need to embedd a video on my linux PHP web site? NON-YouTube

Hey guys,

I have a fedora 8 dedicated server and wish to embedd an introductory video on my home page so people don't have to got through 4 pages to see what my site is about.

I basically want to stream/display a video on a Linux server. Appreciate any suggestions.

I don't want to go with a service like YouTube and leak page rank. I'd rather do it myself, it would look much more professional.

I have given JW Player: Flash Video Player | LongTail Video | Home of the JW Player a crack but somehow I couldn't get it to work, maybe I was doing it wrong.

Please HELP ME!!
