I've tried various modules for this purpose over the past year with Joomla but because my flash vids tend to be in various screen sizes most have ended up not being viewable in a fixed screen viewer. I'm thus wondering whether it's possible to either get a player that could resize itself automatically to present the vid or am I going to have to somehow learn how to delve into the code to change particular parameters each time?? It's frustrating as I tend to have to change the vid every 2-3 days when they go up i.e. for Easter week (it's a church site), and unless I can find a couple of the same output size I'm constantly stuck - last Christmas I ended up leaving the same one on for days on end because I couldn't figure out how to overcome the issue.

Anyone any suggestions on how best to overcome this particular problem perhaps??

So you upload the videos yourself? Might be easier to just create a youtube channel and add em to your site from there. Or am i misinterpreting the problem here?

No - you're quite right. I do indeed keep the files on my PC and just upload them to the server as required. Hadn't thought about the YouTube idea although sometimes think it can look a bit "tacky" or that the content isn't provided by us per se. I own the copyright to these particular vids so keen to maintain that and not make them more public than I've the right to do so. But it's certainly an option to look into - thanks for the input.
