Self Hosted Wordpress Video plugins you have had success with.

Does anyone know of some good plugins for wordpress for self hosted video?  Thanks in advance!

The easiest way to do this is to upload your video to a hosted service like youtube.com or vimeo.

**Externally Hosted Video **

1. Upload video to Youtube.com  or preferred video hosting site

2. Log into your dash board

3. Use the quickpress feature on your dash

• enter a title
• paste the video URL into the content box
• couple of tags for good measure

4.  Then, check your post on the front end and WP has done all the grunt work, added the embed code and essentially created a video post (damn, I love wordpress).

Adding a Hosted Video

I am pretty sure you need a plugin for this and the two ones I see mentioned a lot in wordpress circles are FlowPlayer and JW Player both of which have a free version.

I always tend to use the hosted method above but there is a tutorial on how to use these plugins here:

FlowPlayer and JW Player i will check those out.  Anyone ever use any good wordpress video player plugins?  I want something with flexibility thats already been tested.

Both FlowPlayer and JW Player will do that - they are both very nice, well used, robust players. Check out the sites, they have demos showing you what you can get.
