Recommend me a good replacement for html5 <video> tag
site Example:

Some sites began to use HTML5's <video> tag for, well, video.
i came to realization:
  • Metro's IE'10 video controls were downright ugly,
    i hate's it as soon i see it
    * I was curious about those win8 metro, which turn out sucks, I removes the metro from VM immediately *
  • those <video> tag will also provokes ads with fakes controls,
    as that tag implementation were consistent based on Browser & OS,
    ads sites would just give out similar looking images based on User-Agent or JQuery results.

Therefore, I intent to change the <video ...</video> tags into a classic Flash Object ( <object ... </object> ).
I want movie player that consistent for myself, regardless to the Browser or OS.
That should works until the sites began to use scripts just to add "video object".

I found a free .swf file that could play .flv or .mp4 video from arbitary sources.
But the one i found has its has limitation:
  • only able to play short video,
  • cannot play the video until the video were completely downloaded.
  • doesn't works on .wmv format.

So, please recommend me .swf that could:
  • play video from arbitary sources
  • support .flv, .mp4 & .wmv formats. Quicktime or Realplayer format ere also welcome.
  • support longer video
  • can play the video while downloading/streaming from sources.
