HTML5 audio and video is really great and very easy-to-use, however, they are not supported in older browsers and there isn't a consistency between modern browsers when it comes to file types.

html5media is a JavaScript library that enables every browser to play the media defined inside the HTML5 media tags.

For a compatible browser, the library doesn't interfere anything. For non-compatible ones (older or non-supported file type usage), the player is replaced with the Flash-powered FlowPlayer.

Even in the Flash-fallback, the library applies the settings defined inside the <audio> – <video> tags to the player (like poster image).

html5media can be installed to your own website or a free-hosted-version offered for a quick usage.
