    IE7 and IE8 does not understand HTML5 audio tag. You have to provide flash for that. – Kalpesh Patel Oct 29 '12 at 03:58
  • Are you sure that the html5media script is being loaded? – Andrew Cooper Oct 29 '12 at 03:59
  • IE7 and IE8 don't natively support the ` – Jules Oct 29 '12 at 04:05

    No support `video` tag or most html5 until IE9. Go with Flash for IE. IE7 in particular will have a slower JS engine and be on slower computers, so trying to do some kind of polyfill on this level is just asking for a headache. – Matt Whipple Oct 29 '12 at 04:07

you can use the html5media library to use video tag of html5. It is a javascript library. Use the below tag in your page.

<script src="http://api.html5media.info/1.1.6/html5media.min.js"></script>

Use the embed tag for video tag to work in ie8 and below.

`

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
     <source src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
     <source src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
  ** <embed src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.mp4" wmode="opaque">
         <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     </embed>**
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
