That's the first HTML5 video player that I've come across which instantly loads in fullscreen. Every other player has a lag. Do you know why that is, what did you do differently?

I'm out of sync with HTML5 video news, do we finally have a single file format for all browsers (without requiring hardware support for the codec) or are websites still required to host webm, ogg and mp4?

Does everything it needs to, and looks great.

One small issue. When I change the volume the element appears to wait for me to let go of my mouse button before altering the volume. I'd expect the volume level to change as I'm dragging the range element.

It'd also be nice to get the progress bar to display how much video has buffered.

Good work.
