I tried a lot of the other popular extensions/plugins bout found JPlayer the best extension for my needs: it's a simple extension that just works out of the box. Period :-)
I've tried it and again and again. IT DOES NOT DO WHAT I TOLD IT TO.
It's like it can't load local videos more than one time, and when I try to put youtube videos, it put it self in very low resolution.
Go learn php !

Dear user.
JPlayer has over 120000 downloads (over 42000 downloads of newest version) and nobody complain on malfunction. If you don't know how use it, please read documentation. If you still have problems contant me by e-mail.
And... when you put YouTube video with low resulution can't expect high quality video. JPlayer just include original YouTube player with default resolution and you must manualy choice higher video resolution if is available.

Very easy to configure and implement. One of the easiest for a long time. Great to see support for 1.5 too as we have yet to make the jump to 1.6/1.7 as yet for sme sites.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I am extremely pleased with this flash player plugin. The look was awesome. I thought it would be simple to install, but I am proved wrong. It took me more than fifteen minutes to set up this plugin.
And so I tried to contact the support but Live chat option is not available. Hence I was forced to prefer other component which has a good support.
I have given this plugin a low ranking since I really look forward that the developers would understand the importance of support however big your product might be.
Hope they understand my concerns.

After reading the documentation, and knowing this extension wouldn't be useful for me (at this time) I decided to try it for the experience (learning Joomla! 1.7).
Installed in a snap. Worked exactly as advertised. It's nice to see things that work, isn't it?
My congratulations to the developer for their hard work, and excellent beginning!
My only issue is that I have hundreds of MP4 recordings that utilize the Timed Text format for Closed Captions (subtitles). I don't have time to convert all of them to SRT format. If the ability to utilize Time Text format files is ever supported, I'll gladly use JPlayer!

I was little afraid adding that curly brackets tag, but when i figure out how that works, including thumb I was to satisfy to tell.
For my site I needed just to add video, and just to add you tube video without any too much option and this was just what i needed,
Thanks guys, and best with your work!
(almost year ago i submit this review -by mistake- to another extension that even wont work. Now I see that and wanna to say this to you guys)

Works perfectly and provides an upgrade path forward for my j1.5 site which used AVReloaded. JPlayer gives me just the pieces I use and works in j1.6 and j1.7
Much appreciated!
