VideoJS - [HTML5 Video Player](http://videojs.com)
==================================================
Version 3.0 BETA

---
BETA NOTES
Version 3 is almost a complete rewrite of the previous versions of VideoJS. New features includes:

- HTML/CSS Controls and API now work for both the HTML5 and Flash versions.
- Custom Super-lightweight Flash Fallback
- Embed Code is much simpler.
- No more "vjs-box" div required, just use the video tag.
- No more embedding of Flash fallback within the video tag HTML.

---

View [VideoJS.com](http://videojs.com) for a demo and overview.

VideoJS is an HTML5 video player that uses the HTML5 video tag built into modern browsers, and uses javascript to add custom controls, new functionality, and to fix cross browser bugs. For browsers that don't support HTML5, it will fallback to a Flash player.

View demo.html for an example of how to use it.

Getting Started
---------------

### Step 1: Include the VideoJS Javascript and CSS files in the head of your page.
Change the file urls to point to the files on your server.

<script src="video.js"></script>
<link href="video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">


### Step 2: Add an HTML5 video tag to your page.
Use the video tag as normal, with a few extra pieces for VideoJS:

1. The 'data-setup' Atrribute tells VideoJS to automatically set up the video when the page is ready, and read any options (in JSON format) from the attribute.
2. The 'id' Attribute: Should be used and unique for every video on the same page.
3. The 'class' attribute contains two classes:
- 'video-js' applies styles that are required for VideoJS functionality, like fullscreen and subtitles.
- 'vjs-default-skin' applies the default skin to the HTML controls, and can be removed or overridden to create your own controls design.

Otherwise include/exclude attributes, settings, sources, and tracks exactly as you would for HTML5 video.

<video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="640" height="264"
poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png"
data-setup='{"example_option":true}'>
<source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
<source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.webm" type='video/webm' />
</video>


### Step 3: Nada!
That's all it take to get started. See the docs for more advanced uses.
