Video player does not show original video - only shows transcoded video [#1410212]

I have uploaded an mp4 file and used the webm preset to get Zencoder to transcode it to webm.

The video player for mp4 and webm is set to HTML5 videojs but when I view the node page markup only the webm transcoded file is listed as an HTML5 video source:

  <div class="video-js-box tube-css" id="video-32">
    <!-- Using the Video for Everybody Embed Code http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody -->
    <video id="video-32-video" class="video-js" width="640" height="360" controls="controls" preload="auto" poster="sites/default/files/videos/thumbnails/32/thumbnail-32_0000.png">
                      <source src="sites/default/files/videos/converted/32/monkey_webm_1326884753.webm" type="video/webm; codec="vp8, vorbis"" />
            <!-- Flash Fallback. Use any flash video player here. Make sure to keep the vjs-flash-fallback class. -->
      <div id='vjs-flash-fallback'  style="24px;" class="flowplayer"></div>    </video>
  </div>

If I use the webm preset and the mp4 preset then Zencoder transcodes the original mp4 and outputs both webm and mp4 files, and both formats are listed as an HTML5 video source.

However I don't want to have to pay Zencoder to transcode my original mp4 into another mp4 just to get it displayed in the HTML5 video player.

I want the video player to use my original mp4 and the transcoded webm file. How do I get the video player to show the original video?

I searched and cant find any documentation or previous issue about how to do this.

I've posted a similiar issue over at http://drupal.org/node/180302

Any ideas guys? Can we use our original files as videos sources too?

Does the video module show the original video if has been uploaded in a format that is active in one of the presets?

If not, what can be done to achieve this?

This would save the server some processing time, and make sure that at least one of the video files doesn't loose quality through transcoding.

You mean that if you want to display a mp4 for HTML5 enabled with a flv fallback you have to transcode also the mp4 to mp4 ? ~~If someone as a tip, I want mp4 HTML5 video and use flowplayer in case there is no HTML5 support.~~I ended using video.js as a fallback for everything played with HTML5.
