There's a nice standard way of setting up HTML5 video with flash and other fallbacks.

Please see Video for Everybody for a nice generator of HTML5 tags with fallback options.

Alternatively, here's another great library, with JS/CSS code to make it work consistently.

I'm failed to switch between videos on page with JWPlayer in IE8. Moreover, its JS API simply doesn't work in IE8. There are also top players: medialement, VideoJS, SublimeVideo. So, I'm trying mediaelement now.

I have used following way to fix playback issue for IE and this worked for me.

<video id=0 controls width="640" height="360">
<source src="new/db.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'/>
<source src="new/db.webm" type='video/webm' >
<source src="new/db.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="500">
  <param name="movie" value="db.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
  <param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0">
  <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
  <param name="expressinstall" value="../../Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
  <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
  <!--[if !IE]>-->
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="db.swf" width="500" height="500">
    <!--<![endif]-->
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
    <param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0">
    <param name="expressinstall" value="../../Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
    <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
    <div>
      <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
      <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
    </div>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
  </object>
  <!--<![endif]-->
</object>

<script type="text/javascript">swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");</script>
<script src="../../Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
