Hi. I don't have any experience in HTML coding or any type of programming, so I come here with my hat in my hand! I registered on this site just to ask this questino. I have a blog that I'd like to apply this to:
Is it possible to embed a YouTube video in such a way that the player controls act similar to how Vimeo's player controls act? That is,
- The player controls fade away after you've hit play
- The player controls fade in (reappear when you scroll your mouse on the video
- The player controls then continue to fade in (appear) and fade out ('disappear') depending on when
you scroll on or off of the video with your cursor.
I'm asking because I love the way Vimeo's player controls are, but prefer using YouTube. Thanks for any replies! And I apologize if I've put this in the wrong section. I wasn't sure where to put it.

im going to say no as a guess but dont take that as a definite answer

im under the impression that vimeo is better than youtube and generally has better quality.

you could try and code up a html5 video player but i doubt thats the answer you want to hear

Vimeo use a flash based player, Moogaloop

vimeo uses html5 if supported or required (idevices) on the vimeo site but embedded videos arnt html5 yet but youtube does its embedding in html5 unless not supported
