20 Free Html5 Video Players


The <video> element is a long-awaited and probably one of the most talked about feature in HTML5.

We can easily embed videos into web pages without any plugins, using the <video> element (which is now included in latest versions of Firefox, Safari & Chrome & Opera).

It sits on top of the <video> tag providing better video controls and a fallback to flash for older browsers.

Here are 20 useful HTML5 video players which allow you to easily embed video into web pages and ensure backwards compatibility.
