Video On CD Can't Post

I have a client that we are doing a short video for. It will be no more than 6 mins with video and sound. We will probably make some DVD for her but Really she wants to do two things. Distribute it throgh the web to her customer base, which is nearly 10,000 active emails and also distribute it to people at conventions an trade shows that she attends. The distribution is new for me. What advice do you have?

I see that duplicating CD's is alway cheaper than dvd and virtually everyone that has a computer had a cd rom so a CD would seem to be a more convenient alternative to the dvd. Given that logic what type pf file should i expect to make this into and will putting a 6 min video on CD reduce quality at all. I am paying significantgly for pro sound, lights, camera etc and dont want it to look like junk due to compression. Also can i set the cd to autorun or is that not a good idea?

second what file type or strategy woudl be ideal for web distribution? I guess a link back to her site or some other hosting site but again how do i preserve that quality.
