HTML5 Video & Media JS Library By Kaltura
Kaltura, an advanced video publishing platform, is sharing a free and open source HTML5 Video & Media JavaScript Library.
The library enables you to use the HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags today with a cross-browser and consistent player.
It is a feature-rich library that is built on jQuery and jQueryUI which makes theming, customizing and extending easier.
The player supports the open media formats ogg theora/vorbis (if you're using h.264 formats, the library supports a smooth transition with fallback to h.264 sources).
Besides the video player, there is also a compact audio player with similar features.
It can gracefully identify the best playback engine (native HTML5, Flash, VLC or Java Cortado) for your settings and video format.
The player's interface is multilingual (with the help of language files), it is already integrated with MediaWiki and can be integrated into any other platform easily.
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Thanks for the great post!
Just one clarification – The library supports a seamless fallback with flash based playback (using Kaltura’s media player – KDP3) or Java cortado for browsers that don’t yet feature HTML5 video & audio support. Detecting the client browser, the library chooses to use the right codec (specified in the source attributes) and the right player. So whether you’re using flash, h264, ogg-theora or plan to use the anticipated VP8 codec – the library will make sure it is played on all browsers with the same html based UI.
