embedding a flash video in a web page

Tools

Today I've been asked to embed a video in the home page of a website I maintain. They were looking for the usual nice looking flash player to perform playback, just like YouTube and other similar web sites.

I decided to look for something flexible and - more important - open source. I found flowplayer, a really nice, really flexible and incredibly easy to set up flash-based video player.

The documentation on the project web site is complete, and you can simply cut-and-paste to have something working out of the box. Tweaking is also easy and fun.

Great stuff.
