somehow there are really little tutorials out there for html5 video and audio playback.

I simply want to embed video and audio files with customized controls. However the controls should be farely simple. I only need a play-button. If clicked, play gets replaced by pause. that's all!

however i even don't know how to embed/display a video without "preload controls". Somehow if i only set (without preload controls) Firefox even don't shows anything. Chrome does show a black window.

I would love to be able to use jquery to control the video play and pause button. Maybe you have some little start-approach for me!

thank you very much!

Issue 203 of .net magazine has an article telling you exactly how to do that. The article itself doesn't seem to be online though.

That said, here's an article co-written by one of the authors (Bruce Lawson) of the above article which if you scroll down to, shows you how to create your own controls: Introduction to HTML5 video.
