I want to display videos using Gallery. I have uploaded the video and created thumbnails for it. My main problem is that when you click on the video, it forces you to download the video but I want the video to play in the browser.

If I am not making sense here are examples:
My site showing how it currently works:

I found this guys sight when searching for my answer:
http://www.unicyclejester.com/gallery/vids/?g2_page=1

When I go to his sight I can view the videos directly on the webpage.

How do I do this?

Do I need ffmpeg for this? If so, is there a basic guide to ffmpeg somewhere?

I have spent 2 hours searching for my answer and I give up. If there is already a post with my answer please just direct me to it.

do edit movie.. you may need to tell gallery the dimensions of the movie.. are the values there blank? (with ffmpeg module it will determine the dimensions automatically, but ffmpeg isn't required)

I hate it when I overlook the most obvious freaking answer! Thanks Mindless, that did it.
