There is now also a Python module for Univers Video that will integrate with any Python web framework / toolset (Django, CherryPy, Werkzeug) rather easily.
Or get it from the Cheese Shop:
$ sudo easy_install universvideo
Update: For more details go to: UniversVideo — Braydon’s Free Software Blog.
So I’ve added in the Video for Everybody HTML code block for graceful JavaScript fallback. JavaScript is used to detect if there are enough capabilities of the browser to support the custom JavaScript HTML5 video controls, but JavaScript is not required.
Grab it while it is hot!

The above video will play without Flash in Firefox 3.5+ and Safari 3.1.2+, and also in any browser with Flash installed. In Firefox 3.5 the implementation in 100% different than the Flash implementation. It uses Canvas for the controls, JavaScript for the behaviors, the HTML5 video tag, and Ogg Theora / Vorbis for the video codecs and format. It plays in Safari using all that but with the H.264 mp4 video like is used in the Flash player.
