I'm very interested in adding some videos that are "Open Video" friendly to my site. I've read a few tutorials on rollback systems that will safely give viewers a flash player if their browser doesn't support html5 , but I'm not at all sure what the best option is. My biggest concern is making sure that the video plays no matter what! Have the various scripts been tested in many scenarios? |

Video for Everybody, by Kroc Camen is the de-facto solution for video with the best possible graceful degredation path. http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody It doesn't use javascript, which is a huge advantage. The video4all library is actually modeled after Video for Everybody, but instead allows cleaner markup and javascript does the rest. |

This is still new territory, but this guy has brought together the most comprehensive fallback system: http://code.google.com/p/video4all/ |

You can also check out the mv_embed library that includes flash fallback and is used on sites like metavid.org. |

I suggest following the model used on Tinyvid. ( http://tinyvid.tv ) It uses a combination of video tags and a Java applet. |

Here's a HTML5 video player It says it will add support in older IE versions for automatically falling back to Flash. It hasn't been released yet, but you should follow its development. |
