Can I force Flash use for MP4 playback?

I want to abandon the HTML5 video tag for a 8MB MP4 file I want to play on a webpage because it has been doing strange things on Chrome on Windows 7/8 but not on Chrome <=Vista. Strange as in:

This has been duplicated on a number of different machines we have tested on.

Is there some markup I could use to force an MP4 to be played by Flash only?

TIA Mark

You can make the player use Flash using the techOrder parameter.

<video ... data-setup='{"techOrder": ["flash"]}' ... />

Try to replace

 vjs.options = {

      // Default order of fallback technology
      'techOrder': ['html5','flash'],

with

vjs.options = {

      // Default order of fallback technology
      'techOrder': ['flash','html5'],

in video.js. The script will now give flash the priority to run, rather then html5

If you want to give the priprity to flash player first go to the video.js or video.min.js file and replace the ["HTML5"],["flash"] with ["flash"],["HTML5"]
