In today’s world, many website shows videos for different purposes. Till now, you mostly used Flash or some plugins to integrate videos on your website or blogs.
But, the latest trend in web development is about HTML5. Showing videos through HTML5 players is one of the most important and highlighted feature in this new technology. You can define HTML5 by saying that it is an alternative to Flash Player that works like the same way.
HTML5 can have some extra advantages than Flash player, which makes HTML5 more useful. The loading time is fast of HTML5 players, you can fast forward and rewind the video without waiting at video to buffer. These are some of its unique features which surely help HTML5 to keep ahead of Flash players.
So, in this article, I am compiling a list of great free tools that will help you to integrate video via HTML5 in your website or blog. These players also support Flash video in the case if your visitor’s browser doesn’t support HTML5.

Very good.I found this open source and easy to use HTML5 video player : http://fryplayer.net/
The player is actually a jQuery plugin and has very nice features like the ability to skin, buffering, full screen mode and keyboard shortcuts.
It is also possible to set the width-height and initial volume of the player.

Most of players looks like shit unless you pay for skins and other plugins. I’m using this player now: http://darkonyx.web-anatomy.com/en
Thanks for the effort you took to expand upon this post so thoroughly.
Why valid html code is important to your web site’s search engine optimization efforts and consequent high rankings! Such invalid html codes… A single missing bracket in your html code can be the cause your web page cannot be found in search engines… Providentially, there are free services that allow you to check and fix the validity of your html codes.

Two hands on DarkOnyx http://darkonyx.web-anatomy.com/en , imho the best html5 player out there: ad-support, hd/sd switch, up 4 to video sources, flash fallback, eee… and I’m using it, so it’s nice ^^ …
There is also projekktor HTML5 Player – make sure to add it on the list too.
A very helpful article. I tried out some of these in several browsers and read up on them where possible. Actually none of them met my needs. JW Player has the same kind of licensing model as FlowPlayer, the problem for me is that they’re just too expensive for what they do. $10 dollars and I’d have considered it but $65, $95 I think I saw, I’d rather just go with a Vimeo pro account for $60 odd a year and get video hosting and streaming included with a rock solid professional player.
I thought VideoJS was the solution until I discovered the Flash fall back is JWPlayer which puts you back to square one. I still have to check Kaltura and the others mentioned in the comments above. Video for Everybody does not include a Flash Player, it refers you to FlowPlayer and JW Player for flash fallback, back to square one. Last of all OSM Player appears to be dead, the last news posted was some months ago and the last forum questions were unanswered, I wouldn’t want to have my video site depending on that.
There’s also FlareVideo http://flarevideo.com/ which failed to work at all in Safari and Firefox on Snow Leopard when I tested it using the developer’s own site.
Oh dear.
