HTML5 Video

The HTML5 <video> element allows you to play video files without the need for plugins.

There are some problems over which formats work with which browsers and Microsoft, Google et al are still wrangling.

You can specify several files and the browser will keep trying them until one works (hopefully).

Formats include: MP4, Ogg Theora, VP8 (WebM)

The video below is in both MP4 and OGG/OGV format. It features some orangutans at play in Borneo.
