Who cares about the idiot IE8 users? (Joking. Unfortunately, schools/work force people to use horribly old IE browsers.)
As I said, YouTube is the best option - HTML5 support and idiot-proof Flash.

Wow - they've already started FF7 development? Still, I recommend you to use FF5 beta - FF7 is probably pretty unstable.

The end result is a build so unstable you'd be foolhardy to run it on your main machine, or without suitable backup in place. This is for developers and enthusiasts only.[sic] We recommend running this build on a secondary system, or a virtual machine using a tool like VirtualBox. 1

So you're basing everything upon what I've said?



I still vouch for MDN, as long as you're comfortable with the basics of HTML. (If you're doing the JavaScript "Tutorial", you should know a bit of programming. HTML doesn't count - it's not even close to a programming language by itself.)

So that should make it better. You wouldn't go to a grocery store to buy shoes, even if they sold them. You would go to a shoe shop, because they specialise in shoes and are most likely to give you are more quality product.

There should be no problem at all with using HTML5 video. Just make sure you have a WebM and h264 version of you vid and include both videos in the video element. Then provide a fall back to an embedded flash player for browsers that doesn't support the video element. (Chrome said they where going to remove h264 support for the video element, but I don't know if have done it yet. I just remember all the rage : P)
The only thing that might be difficult is to convert the video to WebM but there should be some tools out there I guess...

Simple, but works, thanks
