Embedding Video On my Websites?

I am having a problem embedding video on my websites. I have uploaded the vid on my FTP Client but can not embed on my site. I can embed using separate a server (Photobucket) and do it in HTML(WYSIWYG), but it will not loop and replay. What is the HTML code for "replay" or "LOOP". I am using frontpage as my site build software and I know it is obsolete now, but still works for everything I do. I am familiar with HTML and can edit my HTML markup properties quite easily. Is there a simple free flash conversion software out there? I have tried GIMP and I do have Macrmedia installed, but they seem alittle complicated for this old man ....LOL Any help would be appreciated.

TY
