Adobe Releases Its Own HTML5 Video Player | Wired.com

Adobe Releases Its Own HTML5 Video Player | Wired.com: "Adobe has released an embeddable video player that plays HTML5 native video in browsers that support it, and falls back to Flash in browsers that don’t.

It’s cross-browser and cross-platform, so it works on iPhones, iPads and other devices that don’t support Flash. Using Adobe’s new player, these devices can show videos in web pages without the Flash plug-in.

There are already several players out there that use the HTML5-with-Flash-fallback method, such as Vimeo’s new player and the slick one from Brightcove that can handle video ads. All these players, like Adobe’s, are based on open web technologies and can be customized with CSS and JavaScript. But this newest one, because it’s from Adobe, is sure to be a bigger deal."
