Are you videos in flash video format already? You would need to convert your videos into FLV format first before viewing them inside a flash video viewer.
For flash video template, you can check out A4desk Flash Video Player Software. It offers many different designs and the flash video player also comes with features such as playlist and scrollable thumbnail. A software is also included so you can easily import video, convert into FLV format and then generate the HTML code for embed to your own web page.

You need to open the XML file using a text editor (such as NOTEPAD) and then edit the filenames and entires.
If you have no previous XML editing experience, the easiest way to way to get this done is by using a flash xml photo gallery software, such as A4Desk Photo Gallery.

Question: How i can design a web site so that i can display online videos that is taking immediately now?
Firstly, do not embed your WMV, AVI or MPG movie files directly to your web page. You should convert your video file into a streaming flash video file (.FLV) format. This way your visitors can watch the video IMMEDIATELY as it is getting downloaded (otherwise they can't see anything before the video file is fully downloaded).
Flash FLV does video streaming automatically -- there is no need for any special processing of the file. All you need is to embed a flash FLV player component or template, and the FLV file will play in streaming mode automatically.
You can use flash video software to convert your video files into FLV format, and then generate the HTML code for embedding to your existing web pages.

I have minimal knowledge of building a website. I am looking to display mainly photos and videos. I have been looking into iweb, but would like some to add some flash animation. Any ideas or website templates that come to mind?
If you have no programming knowledge, I suggest you should checkout some all-in-1 software package which helps you to build a photo gallery, or online video gallery. Check out http://gallery.a4desk.com (for photo gallery) and http://video.a4desk.com (for video gallery). Both are Windows software so you can download the free trial, build the web page on your PC for preview, and then upload to your own web host.
Question: Free online video player? I'm looking for a free online video player that lets you embed a video to a web page and it doesn't leave a water mark on it
Online video player such as Youtube usually require you to upload your video to their server, and always add their watermark to your video.
You should search for a flash video player software, which can convert your video files to FLV format and allows you to upload the video with player to your own server. This way you can display any video you want, and without any watermark.

Question: How can i stream a live video from my website? Do i need to know special programming language?
You need to know flash programming (actionscript) and understand the basis about stream video file format. PHP and HTML won't do it. You must use .FLV file format (the same format Youtube is using) and also a flash video player to embed within your HTML page, in order to play streaming video.
If you are on Linux platform, check out Lives -- an open sources video player.
If you are on Windows platform, you can consider A4 Video Player which can convert wmv,avi,mov,mpg to FLV automatically, and let you choose among a collection of video player skins.
