I've been excited about SublimeVideo, a gorgeous-looking HTML5 video player, since it was first announced. Being able to easily embed video using the HTML5 video tag, and offer the same experience on any browser, is a great goal. That's why SublimeVideo has just introduced a Flash mode.
"Wait, WHAT?" you cry, "I thought this was going to be the end of Flash, not another Flash video player!" Don't freak out too much, though: the Flash mode is just a fallback to make sure your embedded videos can play in browsers that don't support HTML5, or in Firefox when there's no OGG Theora version of the video available. It's not a concession to Adobe, it's a practical effort toward compatibility.
SublimeVideo promises that Flash mode will look and feel the same as HTML5 mode, so there's no reason to freak out on that count, either. If you're running a standards-compliant browser, you'll never see the Flash mode anyway.
