External "Video for Everybody" WordPress Plugin
Delivers ogg/theora (and optional webm) html5 video from an external storage location with fallbacks to flash, and links for download.
Important: This plugin is designed to operate on media files hosted outside your WordPress site. It does not integrate with the Media library, and it does not create the media files.
External "Video for Everybody" is a WordPress plugin that you can use to show videos on your WordPress site. You enter a simple shortcode on your page, and the plugin generates the HTML to deliver the media. Browsers that understand the HTML5 tag will display MPEG/H.264 (.mp4) files, VP8/webm (.webm), or Ogg/Theora (.ogv) files. Other browsers can use Flash to play the .mp4. In all cases, the markup includes links to download the media files. The HTML comes with only minor variations straight from the Video for Everybody model. See that site for fuller details.
