I spent a lot of time researching and writing this article to help you get HTML 5 video working on your website. And while it might seem overwhelming to see 10 pages of tutorial to get it working, a lot of that time is spent creating your video and encoding it for the different browsers. The actual time spent writing HTML 5 is minimal. And I've tested the resulting page in browsers on Mac, Windows, Linux and even mobile phones. Plus, once you've got the files set up, you won't have to add them again, and you can spend more time editing your video masterpiece.

This tutorial covers: why to use HTML 5 video, what browsers support HTML 5 video, how to encode for Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer, plus how to write the HTML, and how to get IE to play nice.
