XHTML Markup Validation

i have my site [here][link removed]

when i run it through validator, i get several errors regarding the:

<embed src="inception/inception.mov" width="620" height="274" autoplay="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>

if i keep the <object> and drop the <embed> then the code compiles fine. does this mean i no longer have to use the <embed> tag when im embedding multimedia in my page?

thanks for your responses.

Yes, use <object> instead of <embed> and <param name="xxx" ...> insteand of embed's invalid attributes.

According to the validator output:

Many Flash authoring tools recommend, or enforce, the usage of the <embed> element to include flash animations or applications in Web pages. <embed>, however, was never part of any standardized version of HTML, and this practice produces invalid markup.
