Since you can't style the controls in every browser (namely Firefox), using custom controls is the way to go.

Writing your own is possible but takes some time and doesn't have the functionality that some other controls have.

I recommend Flowplayer which is very easy to use and style. It also has other useful features such as allowing you to control how the video is loaded (which is very useful for us since AWS S3 charges per view of the file).
