WordPress Video Plugin

OK, I've searched for this answer and I may have just overlooked it, so if it's been answered, please forgive me and direct me to the link.

I'm looking for a WP Plugin that plays videos I have hosted at Amazon S3. I don't want it to open up with Windows Media Player, I want it to be played right on the website, just like one can do with YouTube videos.

I've tried several plugins and they either don't do what I want or I don't know how to work them properly.

I've tried "Embedded Video", "Viper's Video Quick Tag" and "WP Media Player". Again, either I don't know how to set it up properly (which is probably the reason) or the plugins don't do what I want.

I know there's a plugin out there that does this as I see it on WP sites all the time.

Can anyone tell me if I'm just missing something or am I not using the right plugin? Or if anyone can direct me in the right plugin to use, that would be great as well.
Thanks!

    I just came across this here:

    WordPress › Flash Video Player WordPress Plugins

    Not a clue if it works.

    What versions are your videos in?

    You can do some easy embedding with something like easy video player. It's not a plugin, but you can install it on your host, upload through it to S3, get embed codes that can go right into your posts and will play easy.

    I just got this one a couple of weeks ago and it works great. It also supports zip files and MP3 files for download from S3.

    Hana FLV worked great for me - easy to use. I'm also giving Vipers a try too.

    Will WP-supercache help load my video faster. My .FLV video is quite large (5mb) and hosted on Amazon S3, but is taking forever to buffer. Any recommendations?

    I usually just use the embedded flash player in camtasia as it's free with the software, also you can try unlisted youtube videos, they work great.
