If you mean how to you play your on your website? Flash is your best option. You'll need to convert to .flv and there is a free converter called Riva. It it is not the best quality available but it does the job and it is free.

You could provide a transcript of the video in text underneath the video. This would also help in making your site search-engine friendly.
"Initiatives such as Section 508 and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) have produced guidelines and mandates requiring that nontext content be rendered in an alternate format that is accessible to disabled users, such as text captions for audible content and text descriptions of visual content."
