Html5 Javascript Video Player

We have a flash video player with synchronized interactive elements want to enhance with the following features.

1) with HTML5 detection
2) and the HTML <video> player + controls
3) google analytics of the playtime

****TO BE CONSIDERED****

submit ONLY 1 URL of your work with any of the above, or you generally showing off your javascript jedi skills.

This project is pretty much done for you.

For (1) the detection

use these http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html
http://www.modernizr.com/

would behave like
if ( flash supported) use flash, else if (html 5) use html5

For the HTML5 video player

try using this open source one, unless you know of a better one.

For the events/analytics, we’ll be using ole google.

We need to track
– load time
– currentplay time
– play control event (e.g. pause/play

FROM
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html

EXAMPLE:
_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘Videos’, ‘Video Played To Time’, ‘Gone With the Wind’, player.currentTime]);

He’s what you’ll need to integrate the above with

The current video and controls is with flowplayer
The synchronization appearance and hiding is all in javascript + jquery
