It seems like if you were developing a stand alone too, you'd just want to
use an application that can display the html5 video tag like
http://mediaelementjs.com/. There are a few others out there (flow & jw
player), but this one looked like it had the least restrictive license and
was pretty easy to use. It wasn't quite too simple to integrate as a
CKEditor plugin because of the way the editor handles objects in the view,
but if you had some other UI for actually adding videos from an external
repository as you describe, then it should have the best
browser compatibility.

There are probably some old applets based on JMF, but the I'd think that
the video tag is going to have much wider compatibility and work better
nowadays.
