Video doesn't play on iphone or blackberry

Hi, I'm trying to make my websites more cross-platform compliant. On this page, there's a video that won't play on my client's iphone or blackberry. Does anyone know what I can do?

Also, he is going to resend me the video, and wants it to be larger and very sharp. Can anyone recommend the latest and best video platform to use on websites? Thanks!

BB does flash just not the latest version

Doesn't do it real well, at least not as video playback.
This is simply not true. Apple lifted its 3rd party non-sense. They have released a developers package just for it. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/packagerforiphone/ Besides, My iPhone displays flash just nicely. Not all flash though.
But unless you have Flash and are specifically coding with that package, it IS true.

The asker is attempting to embed a video on a web page via Dreamweaver's built in video players.  Those are not iPhone compatible nor are they likely to ever be.  If you want to build a player from the ground up, then yes, this becomes an option for you. But for most people switching to YouTube is more realistic and, frankly, better.
I am simply pointing out that there is flash support =). it is better to give the correct information then to tell someone it doesn't exist and it then have to explain why it exists after not knowing it existed and telling them otherwise. There are many more packages. Your answer for his question is a good solution I dont contend. I just simply want to point out that you are wrong about Flash not being supported. Makes us all smarter in the long run. No harm intended! =)
