Flv is best option as you no need to host video at your server, you can host it to best video server like youtube and just embed it to your web page the video thumbnail appear directly and easily so you need required code for your web site ...

Flv is best. Flash Video is a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player now supports video compressed in H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), audio compressed using AAC (MPEG-4 Part 3), the MP4, M4V, M4A, 3GP and MOV multimedia container formats (MPEG-4 Part 14), 3GPP Timed Text specification (MPEG-4 Part 17) which is a standardized subtitle format and partial parsing support for the 'ilst' atom which is the ID3 equivalent iTunes uses to store metadata
