I just tried Vimeo (won't load through IE without a Flash 10 upgrade), and Veoh (vids don't play without installing their evil toolbar), then I found
Blip. There's not much going on in the way of networking there, but it seems nice and not at all commercial. Simple pages, good looking player, a little old tech I think. They allow up to 1gb files, which was what I needed for some 1hr TV shows. I was also able to embed them with no problem using their very simple code.
I've got a few files uploaded so now it loads a channel with the player:

If the videos show up in search engines, the channel aspect of this will make it better than Google.
And it's free.
