Wat is currently the best way to go?
Is it still flash? That would suck.
It has to be browser compatible but fuck IE.I googled the shit out of this and I'm still not sture if html 5 is up to this. (Video has to scale with browser etc...) Hope you guys can help.

I'd say Flash is still the best option for this.

There's nothing stopping you from using HTML5 if you want. YouTube already lets you view full screen HTML5. I assume you'd simply add some Javascript that scaled the VIDEO tag to the width and height of the screen.
The problem would not be functionality but compatibility with IE8 and below.

yeah the only issue is that HTML5 video is not fullscreen.. it can stretch to full browser window not full screen.
Flash is the best way for full screen video and full screen interactivity

HTML5 full screen video only works on OSX though because Apple added that functionality.. not sure if it works on OSX level or only in Safari.

I actually need full browser so using javascript to scale it might be a good idea. Thanks!
