Highly customisable, fully-featured, open-source media player with an active community behind it. Support for FLV, SWF, MP3, MP4, H.264 video, JPG and PNG. What more could you ask for?

The new dynamic SWF Video Multi-Player version 3.0 is a complete rewrite of the original SWF video player combined with all the features version 2 had. This is truly a next generation application, using external .XML and .AS (Action Script) files for complete control over the player without having to edit the players FLA file in Flash.

A quality CreativeCommons-licenced flash video player from Jeroen Wijering. The script is sleek, highly usable and customisable and there is even a PHP script for automatically generating a playlist to send to your flvplayer. Used by YouTube.

This is a wonderful, decently laid out (good to see), free Perl script which generates the code needed for embedding several different types of video in your webpages. It has four different player options (including, of course, Windows Media Player, Real Player and Quicktime) and the demo available on the site can be used as an online generator tool.

SurePlayer is a nifty, streamlined, java-based MPEG-1 video player applet. It's open-source, released under the GNU General Public Licence.

A valid XHTML/CSS object code example for Flash, Quicktime and Windows Media embedded videos in your website. Works with most PC, Apple/Mac browsers and the Netscape 4 series.

Realbox is a great little script which puts your Real Media videos (.rm) in a drop down menu below a little screen which looks very skinable. The homepage only has a short french description but you can read Google's attempt at a translation if you want. You don't need a translator to see the demo in action though and the download link is quite visable on the website.
