Is there any alternative plugin that simply uses a HTML video tag to make a video work all I want is a video tag, no watermark, none of that.

That has a watermark that requires $190/yr to remove.

 

[AndyB]

Firefox does not support mp4. So the video tag at this time is still not a good way to go.

Any other methods then? I don't want a watermark, I just want simple play and pause functionality at the bare minimum, and the ability to play mp4 files without any kind of watermark.

You can use webm fallbacks with FF (ref). Check this addon.

The demo at http://www.afioc.com/thinktank/threads/advanced-bb-codes-multimedia.1958/ shows "Flash 9.0+ is required", perhaps the plugin is outdated on that site?

I didn't attach the special mp4 file. To cover all browsers, the video tag should have two fallbacks. Let's hope browser editors will try to agree on a standard... I think if you take a look at the youtube source, videos are coded in different formats as well (need to be checked).

Best to include your own library probably and use that.
