HTML5 video is great as it doesn't require any 3rd party plugins and works in most mobile browsers. However, it is not supported in every browser.. yet.
Also, browsers supporting the <video> – <audio> tags require different codecs and have inconsistent player UIs.
MediaElement.js is a jQuery plugin which enables you to use the <video> tag with one H.264 file (you can also include OGG or WebM, but you don't have to).
If the player doesn't support it, the plugin replaces the player with a Flash or Silverlight-powered one.
There is also MediaElementPlayer.js for building a complete player that looks and functions the same in all browsers.

Good luck to all : ).
Within time, links on our websites can become invalid as the URLs they point may not be existing any more.
Catch404 is a jQuery plugin which adds a layer between the web page and the link to detect this issue with the process:
It has pros and cons like adding an extra request to links which ends up in a slower browsing experience but prevents redirecting readers to non-existing pages.
The plugin does not require any scripting language as the query is sent via Ajax to the Yahoo YQL (which is mostly the reason of the slower experience).
