Basically, you just create a web page with room for a player and copy/paste the "embed link" code there.

For example, take an embed link from Vimeo, like this:
<object width="400" height="300">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1011123&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color= &amp;fullscreen=1" />
<embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1011123&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color= &amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300">
</embed>
</object>
<br />
<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1011123?pg=embed&sec=1011123">Cooking Test</a> from <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/user370965?pg=embed&sec=1011123">Jordan Clarke</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com?pg=embed&sec=1011123">Vimeo</a>.

And paste it (as HTML code) on your web page source.

You could also not use the Vimeo, YouTube, or anyone elses player and use your own (with your own rendered file.

A clear explanation of how to use the free Open Source Flowplayer on your website is here: http://www.dvcreators.net/dvccast-screencast-flowplayer-1/

It does use dvcCast! to render the h264 file, but the rest of the screencast shows you how to upload the files and embed the player into your webpage.
