I have a demo site at video.modulesunraveled.com and have VideoJS installed. I do not have Flowplayer installed. When you view the site using Safari or Chrome, the videos are played with VideoJS, however when you view the site using Firefox or Internet Explorer (8), the videos are played using Flowplayer. Do you know why this might be? I can't figure out where Flowplayer is coming from.

What file types and codecs are you presenting? The problem with html5 video is that there is no codec that works in all browsers. So unless you transcode your video into more than one format, it won't display using html5 in all browsers.

Firefox doesn't support proprietary codecs like h264 so if it will use the fallback option included with the video element. According to this table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video#Table it looks like encoding your videos as h264/mp4 and vp8/webm should cover all the major browsers.

bkat is right. In addition to that, IE8 and lower do not support the video HTML5 tag, and use the Flowplayer Flash fallback.

Try the new Video.js release for a Flash fallback with a more native look.
