adding mp4 to my website...

[manuleka]

i've got this mp4 video and i want to upload it and run it on my website....

is mp4 a web friendly file type? or do i need to convert this to some other video file format?

also, the video was recorded with the camera lying horizontally (90 degrees - the person recorded is standing horizontal on the screen).. how can i make the video appear or play vertical?

I would suggest flash.

I would definitely suggest flash. It'll stream faster then anything else you can put up there.

Not sure about rotating it though. You could put in a flash animation before the video starts saying 'Please tilt your head Sideways'.
