This is virtually impossible. You cannot guarantee that your website and/or video will play exactly the same on every platform, in every browser possible.

Some people are using browsers that don't even support graphics, much less movies.

You just can't please 100% of the internet users.

You can, however, guarantee that your video will be viewable by the vast majority of users, and other users can get in on the action with a small download.

I would recommend converting the video to an simple MP4 video -- QuickTime can view MP4s for the last few years, Windows Media Player can handle them, and anyone else who can't view the video (Linux users, etc.) can install VLC. It's a very compatible format and works on a lot of machines without a lot of fiddling around with codecs and what-not.

You can convert your video to an MP4 using the free Handbrake software, and it's available for download for Mac, Windows and Linux.
