Leave a comment to Open Source HTML5 Video Player - Video JS | Greepit
I also suggest checking out Kaltura – http://www.kaltura.com – an open source video platform.
I love both Flowplayer as well as JW FLV (now Longtail). Does anyone know if Flowplayer will play mp4?
None of the above supports Ogg Theora (.ogg) video files.
Anyone knows of any Flash based player capable of playing both FLV and Theora?.
Thanks

PS: Missing from your list is JARIS, my personal favourite and also open source
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaris/
There is Open Source HTML5 Media Player OSM Player that supports Ogg Theora (.ogg), flv and mp4…
OSM is a flash based player as well.
