I recommend blip.tv as a video hosting service (http://blip.tv) which has
much better terms of service (they are all about protecting the artist's
work and do not use uploaded videos for their own marketing purposes) than
YouTube. They also don't place any kind of watermark on your video the way
YouTube does.

I recommending compressing at H.264 and saving as an mp4 for upload. Here's
a decent tutorial on compression if you need it:
http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2006/12/13/screencast-h264-ipod-compression-from-imovie-and-final-cut-pro/

Blip will also convert your video to flash automatically and allow you to
embed the video as either flash or quicktime in a separate site if you
choose, or it can just live on a page they create for you on their site.

There's no real guarantee on the internet that someone won't appropriate
your work regardless of compression settings or format, but I recommend
putting your name/link/copyright information at the end of the video at
least as a way of sending a clear message.

There's more tutorials about this kind of thing at freevlog.org as well.

Hope this is helpful in some way.
