What is the best way to provide online video that also works on iPhone / iPad?

Question

Is there a general way to implement video on the Internet that will also work on iPhone / iPad?

My idea is to provide two versions (Flash and HTML5) and check with JavaScript, if HTML5 is supported - if so, then play Flash; if not, play HTML5. Maybe the best way?

Answer 1

You can use the HTML5 tag videoas the default parameter and place the tag in it object.
