How to make an MPG-file smaller and place it on the web?

Hi,

I've got a large MPG-file here (15.7 MB) and I'd like to make it smaller
in filesize, and to put it on a website.

Are their any free utilities available to decrease the filesize (by
decreasing width and height in pixels)?

What is the preferred movie-filetype to put movies on the web? MPG?

Could someone please show me some HTML-code that will display this
movie, or point me to a website where this is explained? Preferably
inside an HTML-page, so not in a standalone movie-player. I am
experienced with HTML, but not with movies on webpages.

Thanks.

Kind regards, George
