I have a HTML5 video, working fine, and i’m happily smiling whenever i start my browser… However!

I know the Video tag isnt supported by some browsers, but i noticed there is a difference in support for video attributes/methods/whatever too. Is there a summary of this somewhere?

For example:
The poster attribute doesnt work in every browser, even if the vide DOES work!

I think its pretty worthless to just use an entire javascript library to take care of one attribute like poster, so how to take care of this?
Or am i completely wrong, and is IF video is supported, also every attribute supported the same way?

Please help me! 🙂

Thanks for all your advice,
WK

ps: I am using the video for everybody variant of the video. So thats working fine.

    I find this page a good resource (although it is starting to get old as it was earlier this year): http://www.longtailvideo.com/html5

    On a separate note, I find if you go to mobile devices such as Android the browser support varies greatly per device. Even though they are “supported” I always get strange behavior.

    As for poster, there is no good solution if you want to have support across all browsers.
