Description
You're already using FlowPlayer for video playback.
Though some of us, do not want to propagate the use of Flash on the web and still have video playback.
HTML5 facilitates this very well. So I'd like to be able to disable FlowPlayer and only have HTML5 video playback.
When a browser does not support HTML5 playback, so user should get a simple message about upgrading his browser, possibly with links to Firefox and Opera, since these are the only two browsers currently properly implementing HTML5 Video with Theora playback, which is critical.

We would have to have a fallback for browsers which do not support HTML5 video, however we shall keep a close eye on http://jilion.com/sublime/video which looks like an interesting HTML5 video player for us.
As for codecs, forcing Theora is not something we'd do but instead what ever the browser supports (and of course the type of media uploaded, since we can't convert the video within TangoCMS).
