We looked at the Nomensa video player a few years ago and were very impressed. We loved that it supported YouTube videos and that we could control the style completely. We ran into a problem, however, because the TTML files we were able to produce included timing to milliseconds, and the Nomensa player didn't like that.

Subject: [WebAIM] Does an accessible video player that works correctly in all major browsers exist?

My company is searching for the perfect video player for a number of US Government clients' websites and there does not seem to be one that works* in IE, Firefox and Chrome (not to mention the various versions of the browsers).

Does one exist? If so, what is it?

*By "works" of course I mean is able to be captioned, is keyboard accessible with and without a screen reader and works with a screen reader (can be paused, etc)

Thank you,

Dona
