JW Player plays the major role here and an important thing is that it is available in the internet for free of cost.

Simply type your email address and opt whether you need with viral plugin or without. What viral plugin will do? This question will arise in your mind. Dont worry i will explain further. If you are using the player with viral plugin,while playing the video,at the end it will provide the embed code for others to link your videos to their website like youtube,metacafe,etc. If you wish others to embed your video then you can opt viral plugin else simply omit the viral plugin.Then it will provide a direct download link which is a zip file. After extracting the Zip, the following files would be there:
