Well for anybody wondering how this is done, it took a little to figure, but eventually it turns out to be simple if a little much work but I have my OWN embedded videos for my site :)
[code]<object width="520" height="330" id="_player" data="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value='config={"clip":{"url":"http://anarchist.dlinkddns.com/embed/Scientology.flv"},"playlist":[{"url":"http://anarchist.dlinkddns.com/embed/Scientology.flv"}]}' /></object>[/code]
That's the embed code I'm using. This is the website that I learnt from http://flowplayer.org/index.html Take some time out to have a look at it and if you get stuck or confused then ask me about I have worked on it for a while and now can embed my own videos from my own pc.
Note this is not uploading per se but it beats it if YOU want to be uploading videos (this is for flv and works real well) as for any of the other users they can also access your main webpage to watch the video and also have the embed code but can't upload anything themselves >.<
This is for xampp users who host things locally. I have no idea how this works for uploading to servers I prefer to do everything myself is possible.
Just download the flv that you want to upload and put it in your htdocs in xampp (create a folder if needs be for ease of finding the flv file) And for the record this report was a scathing attack on Scientology by the B.B.C lol. Somebody was looking for the video because it's not a liked video by most Scientologists apparently. No I am NOT a fan of the religion I'm Atheist.

Nice, i prefer to embed from other sites as it doesn't use my bandwidth and also this isn't really a solution to your own embed. People want a native uploader for videos that would be converted to flash and displayed.
But it works for what you want to do so that is great.

Working on or attempting to work on the uploader :) So far I can use something that will upload files to a folder in my oxwall, I just need to add a button then add a direction link to get the files already uploaded to the folder. So it's a messy idea but I'm still going to work on it so that it is possible to upload videos and view them (I hope lol)
The only problem I have with embed is that whilst using youtube the files usually disappear because they have been taken down etc or some copyright stuff which means the files are no longer available, so if it's not due to the person taking the file down then it's due to copyright issues >.>
Easiest solution for that is download the flv and embed it yourself and that way you KNOW the file will remain, or at least depending on if you are like me and say screw most copyright etc and keep the files uploaded/embedded anyway lol.
