Take a look here:

http://flowplayer.org/

It's what I used when I set up one of the sites I designed. You can take 
a look at http://charlesneilwoodworking.com and view source to see how I 
set it up. I have a couple of extras thrown in there so it may not be 
the cleanest to look at - but everything I know about embedding video 
players came from the flowplayer site.
