Embedr: Embed Videos from Multiple Services in a Single Player
With online videos, you can never watch - or share - just one. But creating a playlist that allows you to share those videos - especially if they live on a number of different services - can be more difficult than it should be. Usually, you're stuck with a series of links or a page full of embedded videos. Next time you have multiple videos to embed, try Embedr, a service that takes all of your video content and makes it accessible from a single embedded player.
Embedr is incredibly easy to use. Simply create a playlist and start adding the URLs of the videos you'd like to include. Don't worry about the order. Once you've added all of the videos, you can reorganize them. During playback, videos automatically transition from one to the next. Or viewers can thumb through the screens below the main window to jump directly to the video of their choice.
Embedr is all about speed. To test the service, we created the following player in about 30 seconds - and we were able to do so without even registering.
Or maybe you're more interested in a player that automatically updates with the latest content? Embedr will handle that too. The service features a "smart playlist" that will dynamically add new videos to your playlist based on keywords, categories, or YouTube user name.
Embedr currently supports Atom Films, Blip.TV, College Humor, Dailymotion, Metacafe, MySpace Video, Veoh, Vimeo, and of course YouTube. It will handle up to 100 manually added videos or 50 videos per smart playlist.
The Embedr service reminds us of a simplified version of SplashCast, a similar product we've reviewed in the past. SplashCast is still debating whether or not to continue the support of its user-generated content product. If they choose to discontinue their user-generated service, Embedr may be a viable option for those users.
To begin creating playlists and embedding them, visit Embedr.

Hi,
i'm the creator of Stubes, which does the same... since 2007.

Just like Yubby.com, maybe time for some good old comparisons?
The two sites in the comments above aren't very good. You cannot embed your Yubby.com playlist on your webpage, it only exists at Yubby.com.
Stubes is OK, but you cannot see other peoples playlists and you have to register in order to even build one. There's no reason to force people to register to see if your site even works.
This Embedr site is really easy to use and I just created a playlist in like 20 seconds. The other services are useful, I just find this one to be better.
This is a nifty little app sounds great, thanks for the tip.
I'm off to play and check the others out as well.
Thanks for the post on Embedr - just checked it out and thought it was pretty neat. It could save a lot of space for bloggers who end up posting multiple videos into a single post.
UPDATE: SplashCast today announced that it is no longer accepting new users to its user-generated-channels service. See here:

Existing users will be able to continue using the product for free, indefinitely. Just no new accounts. Go go try out Embedr!
Thanks,

Great post, after all it kicked off the discussion and being a new bie, I came to know about some more similar destinations. Well I have one more in the pocket, it’s www.krunchit.net which embeds every type of files online. It can work upon ten files at a time and is compatible for all windows. In fact you can zip or unzip files at their real location on web and can save in your archive.
