vPIP (videos Playing In Place) - Design the viewers experience of opening videos in your webpage.vPIP (video Playing In Place) dynamically embeds a video after the viewer clicks on the link. The link can be a text or image link. The result is that the page loads quickly with only image and text links. Then when the viewer clicks one of the links pointing to a video, it's replaced with the embedded video. Clicking on another vPIP link closes the prior embedded video and opens the new one.

FreeVideoCoding.com - The most versatile code maker for video on the web. Embed players in a variety of sizes, create text and image links, vPIP, even pop ups. Flash video makers will enjoy the built-in Flash Player included in Flash (flv) code. And it's free. No registration required.
SpinXpress.com - A great way to build collaboration groups around video. Spin also helps you find Creative Commons media for your project, and helps you publish to multiple hosting sites. You can search for Creative Commons media to use in your own work here: Get Media.
