SublimeVideo HTML5 video player adds Flash support
"Wait, WHAT?" you cry, "I thought this was going to be the end of Flash, not another Flash video player!" Don't freak out too much, though: the Flash mode is just a fallback to make sure your embedded videos can play in browsers that don't support HTML5, or in Firefox when there's no OGG Theora version of the video available. It's not a concession to Adobe, it's a practical effort toward compatibility.
SublimeVideo promises that Flash mode will look and feel the same as HTML5 mode, so there's no reason to freak out on that count, either. If you're running a standards-compliant browser, you'll never see the Flash mode anyway.

Yes, because Firefox (which will fallback to Flash) isn't standards-compliant?

Now their video player can run on the other 90% of the internet browsers? Well, maybe 80%.
Let's get real. Even with the iPhone and iPad sales, the Apple-no-Flash policy is only a fraction of the internet browsers out there. You can build something for HTML5 only, but don't plan on it running on much more than Apple's small market share today.
Fast forward a few years from now, and things will be different. Partly it is about business. IT managers are very reluctant to change quickly. And often what gets placed at the office, also ends up on office laptops. Which also, by habit, ends up on home computers too.

This is great, but from their demo, the html5 video at full screen stutters, while the flash version doesn't.
