Re: HTML5 video customization and how to play in IE?

[Mottie]

Have you looked into using MediaElements.js?

If that doesn’t help, I seem to remember, from somewhere, that IE will automatically open the windows media player when the user opens a “.wmv”. “.avi” or “.asf” file – but don’t quote me on this! LOL

And maybe as a last resort, embed the swf and include some kind of javascript api that can replace the player with your ending static image – if you don’t have your own, I think JW Player has a pretty nice javascript API.
