Unfortunately not all browsers support all type of video formats so you won't get perfect solution.

Better thing is you should convert the video format which's suitable for your targeted browsers & use it. Or try browser plugins like VLC plugin[^] but I never tried that.

FYI

HTML Multimedia[^]
HTML Video[^]
HTML YouTube Videos[^]

Embedding VLC plugin on HTML page[^]
embed vlc player in HTML[^]

You could find more in web.
