In a nutshell
HTML5 video is enabled through browser support for video and audio playback, Javascript extensions to control that playback, and ecosystem support for critical functions such as content protection and advertising.

Planning
- Planning your transition from Flash video to HTML5 video

Process
- File format conversion
- Once you've planned out what you want to do, the first step is to convert your video files into formats compatible with HTML embedding.
- DRM and authentication
- If your media requires authentication/rights to access, you'll need to work out how to hook up the necessary DRM and authentication mechanisms.
- Video advertising
- You may also want to incorporate advertising into your video delivery system, via an ad network.
- Distribution
- A CDN is a popular choice for effective delivery of media content.
- Video and audio players
- There are a number of ways to play back web media depending on the scale of your needs and whether you need ad integration and digital rights management.
- Subtitles and closed captions
- Just as audio and video may need transcoding for the web, subtitles and closed captions may also need to be converted and made available.
