			==Solution ''du jour''==
			I've enabled the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MediawikiPlayer MediawikiPlayer] extension and JWPlayer as usable middle ground, primarily because the player can reference files uploaded to the MediaWiki database. The other solutions all required special locations in the Extensions folder—which only administrators get to twiddle with, making it a hassle for them and a lot less fun for everyone else.

			But nothing's really free. Be advised that [http://www.longtailvideo.com/players Longtail]'s JWPlayer license allows absolutely no advertising, including ads or links that might appear inside the video. So upload with caution.

At first, audio played but there was no image. JWPlayer site suggested maybe this is a VBR problem. It was the same in FireFox, Chrome, and Safari, so re-encoded the MPEG-4 file to use H.264 and pretty slow frame rate.

			Same problem...then dumped browser cache. Voila! It works in:
			*Android 2.3.6 = ???
			*Chrome 17.0 = Yes! On PC running Vista Enterprise
			*Firefox 11.0 = Yes!
			*Safari 5.1.4 = ???
			*IE 7 = :-(
			None of this solved the IE problem: a message appears stating a download is happening, but nothing shows up.

			Also note all files which do show up on the page can play concurrently. It gets cacophonous fast.
