HTML5 video, -Mediaelement.js, Video.js, OR a non javascript solution?

Confused by all the options for implementing html5 video. What are the arguments in favor of using a javascript based solution like MediaElement or VideoJS ?

Another way of phrasing this question might be, under what conditions would a non-javascript html5 video solution be the better option (like that presented on http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody)?

Reasons to use a JS based player:

  • Consistent look and feel across browsers/platforms including Flash fallback
  • Ability to work around device/browser bugs
  • Extensibility. Pretty common to hook other things into the playback/progress/state of a video.
