ALSO my second question was how can i compress it without reshooting

Thanks in advance

You need to remove the ../ before the mp4 file name since it is in the same directory as the page where adding ../ will tell the browser that the file is in the directory above where the actual web page is so it comes up with an error

<embed src="VTS_01_0.mp4" width="320" height="256">

this should make it work properly now and not come up with errors.

I have no clue for that program but try the divx converter when you download it comes with a 15 day free trial so you won't need to buy it immediately, that should help compress the mp4 to a smaller size, but then you will get a divx file instead so there might be some compatibility issues if people don't have the divx codec installed on there computers but that is a simple download to fix it all.
