basic way would be a hyperlink to the file:

to link an image to a file:

<a href="yourmovie.mov"><img src="movie.jpg"></a>

of course you'd put in the full url for the .mov file and the jpg file relevant
to your site.

this should open Media Player on the user's pc and allow the movie to "stream"
play, or depending on the set-up and connection (broadband vs dialup) may
download first before playing.
