I think this is too much of a ad-hoc solution. It is easy to implement especially for cross-platform but it isn't too difficult to implement this along with html5 video.

Better done right IMO !?

But definitely needs a bump. I have shifted back to flash plugins since I had this issue. Haven't gone back..
