HTML5 will sooner or later replace flash. This is quite evident from the latest upward trend in the popularity of HTML5 and the fact that most of the web browsers are not supporting HTML5 multimedia. Even popular video hosting sites have shown their positive support to HTML5 video formats and hence it’s inevitable for webmasters to consider HTML5 as a very strong option while integrating audio and video on websites and blogs.

To make your task a breeze, here are some very good HTML5 video players that can be integrated onto a website or a blog that can not even play HTML5 audio/video files but also traditional formats.

While you check-out the players below, do subscribe to our feeds and join us on  Facebook and  Twitter.

1) Video JS: Video JS is by far my favorite HTML5 player so putting it on top of the list. It is a Javascript based video player that fully utilizes the power of HTML5 in latest web-browsers like Firefox 4, Chrome 5 and Opera 10.60

2) JW Player: The close second is the JW Player. What I really like about JW Player is that it gives comparatively more personalization options. So there is hardly a chance that the player won’t go well with your blog/website’s theme.

3) Kaltura: An open-source video solution that works on all major browsers and yes, it even works on Internet Explorer. It is a skinnable and can be a decent HTML5 video player.

4) OSM Player: Open Standard media player is a jQuery based HTML5 video player that’s versatile and can play even the traditional video formats. It can additionally deliver videos from YouTube and Vimeo.

5) Video for everybody: Most simplest of them all. This isn’t actually a video player but merely a piece of code that your browser (HTML5 compatible browser, ofcourse) understands and fires up the native player to play the content. You need to embed your video under a <video> element, like so:

<video height="360" width="640" src="LINK TO THE HTML5 VIDEO FILE" controls="controls">Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video.</video>

I am sure there might be many more options available optimised for different platforms like WordPress, Joomla, etc. If you know of any or have developed a player of your own, do mention it in the comments.
