Compatibility issues with older browsers and a different user interface depending on browser vendor.
You can use a video javascript player that will handle the compatibility issues, provide an appropriate fallback method to flash, keep the same user interface to your users and add extra functionality via plugins.
For years I have deployed JWPlayer and Flowplayer, however nowadays I'm deploying MediaElement to my customers. It's a free and opensource player and can be extended via plugins. Recently I replaced a flowplayer setup with a custom MediaElement setup with a custom playlist and postroll ad functionality. Those are other things you don't get if you stick to basic html video tags.
