Internet Explorer HTML5 video codes

Unfortunately Internet Explorer doesn't support HTML5 video embedding.

Right now there are a few ways to get around this without too much hassle.

You can embed a Flash object into your page or if you have iTunes/Quicktime installed you can embed an .MP4 video file.

The code:
<!--[if gt IE 6]> <object width="640" height="375" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"><! [endif]--> <!-- non-IE QuickTime embed (hidden from IE): the self-closing comment tag allows non-IE browsers to see the HTML whilst being compatible with serving as XML --> <!--[if !IE]><!--> <object width="640" height="375" type="video/quicktime" data="__VIDEO__.MP4"> <!--<![endif]--> <param name="src" value="__VIDEO__.MP4" /> <param name="showlogo" value="false" /> <param name="autoplay" value="false" /> <!-- fallback to Flash --> <object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="__FLASH__.SWF?image=__POSTER__.JPG&file=__VIDEO__.MP4"> <!-- Firefox uses the `data` attribute above, IE/Safari uses the param below --> <param name="movie" value="__FLASH__.SWF?image=__POSTER__.JPG&file=__VIDEO__.MP4" /> <!-- fallback image. download links are below the video. warning: putting anything more than the fallback image in the fallback may trigger an iPhone OS3+ bug where the video will not play --> <img src="__POSTER__.JPG" width="640" height="360" alt="__Title of video__" title="No video playback capabilities, please download the video below" /> </object><!--[if gt IE 6]><!--> <!--<![endif]-->

Make sure to replace "yourvideo.mp4" and "yourposter.jpg" with the actual file you want to use.

IE might support this in Internet Explorer 9, but right now there are no solid plans for HTML 5 video implementation in the near future.
