Make your project in Coffee Cup Web Video Player. Save the project to a new folder on your computer, that you can locate easily later.
On the right hand CC will show you the HTML code that you will use wherever you want the video to appear. Below the code you can see the button "Copy to Clipboard" - click that button!
On the page in Web Studio where you want the video, drag a "HTML Object" from the "CoolStuff" gallery. A grey box appear on the page. Double click that grey box and press Ctrl+V. This should paste the code from 2) into the HTML object. Click "Save".
Now we need to upload the files (shown on the right side in CoffeeCup). Since CoffeeCup wants these files placed in two different folders we would need to make several extra steps ( this is a good time to get a real cup of coffee ) :
In Web Studio, open [W]eb site, [W]eb site properties. Choose the fan "Attached files" then click the button "Add files to list". Now you must navigate to the folder you created in step#1. In that folder you will find 3 files and 1 sub directory. We need to attach the 3 files now, so PRESS THE CTRL BUTTON while you click on each one of those 3 files (selecting all of them). Click OPEN and the 3 files will be attached to your project.....
Now you need to create a new page in Web Studio. Rename this page to myvideoplayer_files. (Exactly as written here, no capital letters). On THIS page you will need to drag in a new HTML object, in the same way as we did in #3. Now you RIGHT CLICK on this new grey box and select [P]roperties, then the fan called "Attached files". Here you need to navigate to the sub directory you saw in #5, and now you must selct ALL FILES IN THAT SUBDIRECTORY. Finish off by clicking "Open"

Thats about it...
Upload the project and the video should work. You may have to click a couple of times on the Play button to start playing.

Please note that this method may not work if you use iHost. (At least I have not tested it).
