Really sleek, very nice minimal UI. More "fast and fluid" than Windows 8!

Love it, certainly going to use it when I need a video player. It even has full screen!

Edit: Even better, it's responsive to browser width changes!

Agreed. It's all win; testing it on some pretty old hardware and it's really smooth.

Well, that was fast. However, I don't think deleting the pause button is a good idea, yeah: you can click in the screen, but some people might not realize that.

I think people will figure it out. But it would be interesting to do some usability tests on this.

To make a responsive, you only have to set its width to 100%... not a big deal.

But yeah, I love flowplayer, it has a nice js API. Too bad it's not IE6 compatible.

Well, yes, but it's nice to see how flowplayer resizes its interface with browser width on-the-fly.

Anecdotal, I know, but I found VideoJS to be a bit of a mess. From a code point of view, the player instance would not destroy correctly resulting in a memory leak for single-page web apps and IMHO the CSS was a pain to work with.

Why on earth do you need IE6 support?

IE6 is not even in the top 12 browsers according to StatCounter.
