title: Playing local video files in HTML
body: <p>A project has various local HTML &amp; video files for help pages. We need to be able to embed these videos in HTML pages - but because all are local files we have no server-side streaming.</p>
  
  <p>Can I still just use SWFObject? Are there other well-known controls that will let us play .mp4, .swf/flv, .wmv files?</p>
  
  <p>This solution is targeting HTML4 across Chrome, FF and IE (I don't know if IE6 is needed).</p>
