WEBVTT 0 00:00:00,1 --> 00:00:04 HTML5 <video> and <audio> was supposed to be awesome, powerful, and fun. 1 00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 But browser vendors couldn't agree on a codec 2 00:00:07 --> 00:00:10 and older browsers don't support <video> at all. 3 00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 This means <video src="myfile.mp4" /> doesn't work ... 4 00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 until now.

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT

5 00:00:14 --> 00:00:18 Introducing MediaElement.js, an HTML5 <video> and <audio> player 6 00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 that looks and works the same in every browser (even iPhone and Android). 7 00:00:21 --> 00:00:24 For older browsers, it has custom Flash plugins 8 00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 that fully replicate the HTML5 MediaElement API 9 00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 so you can build a consistent control UI using just HTML and CSS. 10 00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 MediaElement.js even supports newer standards 11 00:00:33 --> 00:00:36 like the <track> element that enables the subtitles you're reading right now. 12 00:00:36 --> 00:00:39 Also, new media formats like M(PEG)-DASH and HLS can be played with MediaElement. 13 00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 As a bonus, the Flash fallbacks allow you to use FLV and RTMP files. 14 00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 Hope you like it.
