What is the best plugin in your opinion for embedding video to a WP site (hosted on the site itself)? Just looking for a simple player that is not watermarked.
I've tried a bunch of them, but none seem to work very well.

WordPress has native support for embedding self-hosted video since version 3.6. No plugins are required. You just upload the video to your site using the media editor, then use the [video] shortcode, as detailed here http://wphowto.net/videoaudio-em… and here: http://make.wordpress.org/core/2…
It is worth using external video hosting such as YouTube and Vimeo still, though, because they'll compress the video and serve bandwidth-limited versions to mobile users, which is something that's harder to do with self-hosted video.
