Suggestions for embedding video?

I've got a friend looking for suggestions about how to embed Flash or QuickTime videos in her blog posts. My friend knows little about WordPress, so step by step instructions are welcome. She's got raw HTML that looks like this: 

<object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.zay.com/scripts/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://www.zay.com/scripts/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf"

/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value='config={"plugins":{"nginx":{"url":"http://www.zay.com/scripts/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.1.3.swf"}},"clip":{"provider":"nginx","autoPlay":false,"url":"http://vid.zay.com/1005/epd100512_3.mp4","start":"24", "linkUrl":"http://www.zay.com/watch/20/119/3/24/"}}'/></object>


I suggested to her using the HTML raw editor in WordPress, but she is wondering if there are solutions that do call for editing the raw HTML.

    There is a plugin called Kimili Flash Embed - it provides you a shortcode like [kimili src=.. width..] which plays nicely with Wordpress editor and won't randomly brake after few edits like it might happen if you just paste naked object/embed code.

    If you don't have specified SWF you wanna use as a player, try FLV embed plugin - also provides a shortcode and nice little player.

    Best way is to use WordPress and it's oEmbed:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

    Or ProPlayer plugin:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/proplayer/

    That can help you with playing video that is uploaded on your blog. I use this plugin on some of my websites and it works great.
