Let me chime in,, right now the code for embedding the video in the web
page is:

<object
id="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv"
data="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="325" width="400">
<param name="movie"
value="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="flashvars"
value="file=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv&amp;vid_skin=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-gui.swf&amp;autoStart=false&amp;image=http://www.redhat.com/g/video_stills/red-hat-code-into-rhel-400x300.png&amp;omniEnv=redhatcom">
</object>

To make it work with the VIDEO tag, it shoud just be encompassed with
<VIDEO src="http://www.redhat.com/v/ogg/red-hat-code-into-rhel.ogg"
controls> and </VIDEO>

So the result will be:

<VIDEO src="http://www.redhat.com/v/ogg/red-hat-code-into-rhel.ogg"
controls>
<object
id="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv"
data="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="325" width="400">
<param name="movie"
value="http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-player.swf?oid=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="flashvars"
value="file=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/red-hat-code-into-rhel.flv&amp;vid_skin=http://www.redhat.com/v/swf/redbox/redbox-gui.swf&amp;autoStart=false&amp;image=http://www.redhat.com/g/video_stills/red-hat-code-into-rhel-400x300.png&amp;omniEnv=redhatcom">
</object>
</VIDEO>
