What is the BEST video player for a website?
As of now I am using the Yellow Tail JW Player, as it seems to be the best quality.
Most of my videos are 1920x1080 HD. Anyone have any better suggestions?

Now that video is 1280x720, but still...

hmm 1920x1080 progressive over the internet? that means you have at least 6Mbps from your computer player to the source? Most web videos are down-coded even in a lossy format and don't match the original videos quality, color saturation and true-black.

First of all - it doesn't really matter which web video player you pick up - quality will be the same almost everywhere (for Flash & HTML5 based players). What matters the most is the quality of your videos (h.264 > anything).

I've tried several web video players including FlowPlayer and JW, which are very cool, but expensive too (commercial license for JW is about 300 Euro+). I personally recommend DarkOnyx which is a very nice Flash/HTML5 hybrid. It costs around 150 bucks (1/4 JW) and has its own CMS for managing video. There is a free edition too if you don't need tech-support and your own watermark.
