Hi, Are there any open source players that I can embed in my website that are free for commercial use?

If i upload the videos to youtube, can i then use a youtube player on my site?

Thanks

youtube is an option, however it never looks professional, and most place of businesses block most video sharing domains such as youtube.

JW Media player is a player I swear by, and is free to use at will.

There are others out there... But the above is free and easy to implement.

Thanks for your advice, but I have looked at JW player and I need something for commercial use. I believe JW player ask for you to pay if using for commercial use.

Thanks

Hmm, you are correct. I failed to check on that. I'm still looking at options, If you don't mind offering a link to the source download on your site, you could use: http://flowplayer.org/index.html(note that you must offer download link, and in full screen mode there is a logo in the bottom right-- under GPL-free).

I'll make another post, if i find anything else.

I have found another one for free, you must have a link to their homepage somewhere in your site, i'd recomend the footer ;)
