for mp4 videos.
I've spent the last 3 hours searching the plugin repository and have tried several plugins already but have yet to find what I am looking for.
Just want a simple player that shows up in the post instead of a link to the file like the default Media Library does. Looking for recommendations and examples.

I don't know if there's a "plugin" but you can embed a video player directly into a post. I'm using FLash 8 to author the SWF that is used on my website, then using some PHP to load in the FLV from a database table. I needed pro help to code all that though.
This player looks like it's set up to make things easy:

Urgh...you said mp4 video, so I'm assuming you mean h.264?
The player I'm using will play those, but you still have to work out the embed code: http://components.earthscienceagency.com/

thanks to you Moonbat - Digging around on that site, I found there is a WP plugin that uses the JW FLV player - it's available here
v1.5 of Simple Flash Video Plugin for WordPress 2.3.1 and higher. (Requires PHP 4.x+)
Works great - exactly what I was looking for.

Great! I wasn't sure about recommending something I haven't tried.
Notice too that they also have their own video ad serving network, which is probably their long term business plan. Make the video player free, then sell ads through it.
