a better, more compatible alternative would be: http://www.seanmccambridge.com/tubular/

upload your video to youtube, and use Tubular to serve it. +save bandwidth

or modify the JS to use an flv swf on your server.

That is really, really cool. Did not know about that one.

Can you add custom controls? Like in this BigVideo example below (click one of the playlist buttons on the left): http://dfcb.github.com/BigVideo.js/example-playlist.html

Another benefit is the BigVideo.js is built on the Video.js api, so all those methods are available to you.

BigVideo.js would be a FAR better alternative; if you can just fix the browser compatibility issues :)
Pull requests are always welcome! ;)
What makes BigVideo far better?
mute ambient videos, play series of videos (playlists), image alternate for touch devices. These are not available out of the box on Tubular.
