= What does this get me over other HTML5 players? =

Most HTML5 players offer one player to modern browsers and then a competely
separate Flash player to older browser. This creates an inconsistent look and
functionality.

Instead, MediaElement.js upgrades older browsers, using Flash to mimic the entire
HTML5 Media API. Then once all the browsers have something that looks like HTML5
Media, we build a consistent player on top using just HTML and CSS.
