FYI

Looking for a way to store and play video as native as possible, with as few files and as little mark up as possible, in as many browsers as possible. (for me the hosting environment is SharePoint, but this should be mostly a mark-up issue. Will likely be using a lot of Camtasia Relay and MediaMill source files, to a lesser degree some will only be flash).

Kind of thing we are using now...

<script src="/_layouts/1033/images/csom/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<div style="text-align:center;width:100%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;"><p>

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="800" height="618" id="FlashID" title="Carlson and UMN Events Systems">

    <param name="movie" value="Event-Management-Videos/Events-Management-with-UMN-Events.swf" />

    <param name="quality" value="high" />

    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

    <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />

    <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->

    <param name="expressinstall" value="/_layouts/1033/images/csom/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

    <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->

    <!--[if !IE]>-->

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Event-Management-Videos/Events-Management-with-UMN-Events.swf" width="800" height="618">

      <!--<![endif]-->

      <param name="quality" value="high" />

      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

      <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />

      <param name="expressinstall" value="/_layouts/1033/images/csom/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

      <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->

      <div>

        <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>

        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>

      </div>

      <!--[if !IE]>-->

    </object>

    <!--<![endif]-->

  </object>

</p>

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");

//-->

</script>

</div>
