All DreamHost hosting packages include access to a free flash-based media player as well as an image rotator. This means you can easily (and awesomely) embed audio, video or picture slideshows into your website.

The Flash Media Player can only play videos in “FLV” format… but DreamHost allows you to convert your .avi, .mov, or .mpg into a .FLV via the web panel’s Goodies > Flash Media area.

These tools make it extremely easy to add rich media content to spruce up your site or blog, so give it a try.
