There seems to be a kind of war going on between the proponents of Adobe
Flash, something open source called Webm, and the HTML5 player.
HTML5 is not a media player. It's a language used for writing webpages.
The new HTML standard (number 5) allows browsers to play video without
the need for a third-party plugin, like Flash, similar to how you don't
need a plugin to view images. For more info, this video does a good job
explaining it <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsXEVQRaTX8>.
Since that video was published, Adobe has announced plans to kill Flash.
As others have pointed out, the reason why you're having trouble with
HTML5 videos is because modern web browsers require something later than
Windows XP for HTML5 videos.
