  Have you tried using vodpod? http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/

  I created an account on vodpod.com using a little help from this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/ , then after uploading it I shared it on wordpress (Don’t embed). Went to my wordpress.com drafts and found it there. Simple and made my day!

  I managed to post videos from vodpod on my wordpress.com blog (not embed because it doesn’t work), but as soon as I refresh the page all videos start running simultaneously which is pretty annoying for a visitor. This is not the case when I embed videos from youtube. Anything I can do to fix that? Thanks!

  That is because they are all set to autoplay. Change it at the ORIGINAL site, not Vodpod, then paste that non-autoplay code into Vodpod. Then paste the vodpod code into your WPcom blog.
