What's Your Favourite Video Embedder and Why?

[NooseLadder]

Hi,

I'm looking for some feedback please as to your favourite video embedder. If I can compile a shortlist from your suggestions I may then setup a poll. Please include reasons for your choice(s).

I currently do not have a fav as I have not had to do much embedding but this is going to change soon.

Thanks.

Almost allways a flash code is provided, or with html 5 simply use the <video> tag,
and with vimeo it is even for free nowadays so i don´t see any issue here for
using an embedded video player. Maybe to have your own customized fancy

stop and play buttons ? You can make your own swf.

By video embedder, do you mean tools like videojs, mediaelementjs, sublimevideo ?

If so, you might find my Video fieldtype module useful. Along with support for uploading videos, it also has native support for playing the videos using sublimevideo by simply doing: 

echo $page->video_field->eq(0)->play;

Yes tools like that.
