I’ve tweaked and tightened the coding for the podcasts and included a link on the HTML5 video podcasts pages (those with this image- ) that links to a QuickTime video file.

After thinking about the Flash and Internet Explorer problem for the past day, I think the best option is to do a bit of browser detection and if the Flash podcast page detects that someone is using a version of Internet Explorer that’s prior to v9, a link to an optional file format will be displayed. I’m trying to avoid a lot of browser detection since it’s a pain and I don’t want to go that route again because it was extremely frustrating. I also don’t want to block it and force someone to do something else in case it actually works for them.
