I was wondering if I could send an email with video, where i can embed my wmv or any video files from my website on to a email so that when customers open the email they can click play and watch the video?

Or Can I include youtube video directly into email. So that the users can directly watch youtube video on their email?

Thanks.

This depends on email client, but I've never met any mail client rendering Flash. This can be so because of several issues: security, licenses, render engine complexity that is avoided.

And here's one good review on flash compatibility in all major mail clients.

Speaking of video stream files attached to the mail: you can do so, but you'll have to meet mail servers' size limits. And that's not a good idea to attach video, better add web link so that user can decide himself whether he wants this video or not. It's not good experience to have 7 Mb of unexpected mail traffic in newsletter :)

Yes, use Adobe Indesign. Explore the options and you should find an "embed a video" option there. =)
