Your question is rather general, and there are many media players and
codes that can be used. Media is a larger mess than were browsers
during the browser war era. The best you can do is make various
specific players work on most current browsers, if the player is
installed at all. Some include support for two or more players such as
WMP and Real. You might take a look at my media pages that can be
reached at http://www.cwdjr.info/media/playersRoot.php to see if they
cover what you had in mind. Although my code is set up to work in xhtml
1.1 served using the correct mime type application/xhtml+xml, you can
just as well use html 4.01 strict if you wish and avoid the php include
at the top of my pages.
