I am looking for a video player for our website that can play MPEG4 and FLV so that we can serve up videos to general computers and Apple iPhones and iPads.

Am having trouble finding reviews of players so that I can get an idea of which are the most stable, fast to load and don't hog resources.

Appreciate any links to comparative reviews and your experience with players good and bad.

Thanks.

I generally grow my own but in a pinch will throw Flowplayer on a site, easy to install, configurable, multiple formats can be used, no muss no fuss - but that may not work on Apple products, it's Flash-based. Since you mentioned .flv, you may encounter some serious challenges on Mr. Jobs' computers.

We are looking for a player that can serve up FLV for most of the computing world and MPEG4 for Apple mobile, as we stated in our original post.

Appreciate any recommendations for what we are looking for.
