Cross-browser HTML5 <video> player, designed for consistent H.264 playback with a single set of CSS-styled controls.
Single video file: Browsers that don't support the <video> tag can easily fallback to Flash or Quicktime (see Video for Everybody). However, if a browser does support the <video> tag, but doesn't support your video codec, it will not fallback to Flash (e.g. Firefox does not fallback on H.264 files. It just displays a black X). DTS Player detects both <video> support and support for H.264 and uses Flash as a fallback.
Single set of controls: Most HTML5 video players have one set of controls for HTML and a separate set of controls in Flash for non-HTML5 browsers. The DTS player, however, uses a special Flash player that mimics the HTML5 <video> event model. This allows one consisent CSS-styled set of controls driven by a consistent event model.
