Flash and its associated players are all the rage (actually were for a long time), except with the iPad that is. Obviously, you can embed the video into your Drupal site in several ways.
You can use an external site like YouTube or blip.TV using the embedded form field or you can implement the videos on your site using the FLV player module in combination with THE JW Player.
I have already discussed how you can use any of the possible flash players (JW player or Flowplayer) in this video on SWFTools. Thus, the next thing was Flowplayer, and it is here that I put together a video on using the Flowplayer API module in combination with the respective and necessary Flowplayer flash player and JavaScript.
Now, you don't have to worry about downloading the Flowplayer JavaScript and Flash files, those are all included with the module API Flowplayer. What is not covered, it shows me in the video, is some cool extended that you get with things like playlists Flowplayer.
However, if you're looking for really cool things with video then Flowplayer API is definitely the way to go.Is going to provide the highest level of customization (which is of customization that you'LL have to do), with the least amount of overhead, of the other modules that I've worked with.You will need to enter in PHP of your theme to implement, but once you start to really learn it, you'll start to think about things like radical views according series video guide Flowplayer to create dynamic playlists and other features of whiz-bang cool.
UPDATE:In the video, I should mention that Flowplayer is becoming the most popular open source flash player. This is debatable. I should have said "my" favorite player. here are some trends and insights for the two most popular players.
