Akamai’s Open Video Player for HTML5 <video>
Akamai has released a new Open Video Player for HTML5 <video> developer toolkit, aimed at simplifying the task of creating flexible HTML5-based video player applications for delivery of HTTP content.
At first Ambilight looks like an average video player, the kind that loads standard HTML5 video. As the video plays, you very quickly notice what’s happening at the edges. The plugin automatically grabs the average colour in each area, and spreads it across the bounds of the video. This is not a new concept, as there have been hardware ambilights as well as Flash versions of the same. What makes this one special, is that it’s written entirely using HTML5

CwVideo is a toolkit to use and control HTML5-video with the latest realease of MooTools – and two extensions of the Fx.Slider class: CwVideo.Volumeslider (creates a volume slider) and CwVideo.Timeline (timeline slider with several features to simplify creating your own video controls).

Degradable HTML5 Audio and Video for WordPress
This plugin enables HTML5 native playback for users with compatible browsers while offering an elegant degradation to other users through very lightweight Flash players. For HTML5 playback, it auto-detects and offers different alternatives, or degrades to Flash, and (failing even that) to download links.
This WordPress plugin is similar to the Video for Everybody plugin but there are a few differences. While Video for Everybody encourages encoding video in both Theora and H.264, if you just want to use one H.264 file, this plugin will force Firefox to fallback on Flash and play the H.264 video that way.
FlareVideo is an open source, jQuery-powered HTML5 video player. The player supports fullscreen mode and has a fallback mechanism into a Flash-driven player.
