video help

I am trying to help a client play mpg videos on his page.  They play
perfectly fine on my computer with the Windows media player, but after I
uploaded them to his server and tried to play them they went to pieces.  I
have no idea if it's because I have a slow internet connection or if there
is some trick to uploading mpg to the client's internet provider.

I just viewed a video off a Microsoft news site and it gave the choice of
connection speeds to select.  I tried to decipher their code for clues, but
it's a large mess of javascript and I can't see what they did.

Is there a better media player that I can download and recommend to others
to download to see the videos?  Is there a different format he should save
the files in?  Is there something I can do in my HTML coding to make the
videos play well for all users?

Any help would be appreciated....thanks in advance.
