Flash Video Player That Doesnt Compress Video To Dust

I've tried using YouTube and the ilk for video, but it just doesn't work for my use. The videos I often present are not me jumping around in a monkey suite, where the resolution is not important. I want a flash video player that leaves the video uncompressed or at least leaves it at a good enough resolution that text can be read. Anyone know of such a product? It would be great if I could host it myself, but I'm open to a hosted solution as well.
