My question is, what is the best, most generic way to do this?

I guess that it would depend on the video format. Easiest would be Flash as commonly only one object element is needed:

<div>
<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="flash.swf"
width="300"
height="200">
<param
name="movie"
value="flash.swf" />
<!-- Fallback content here. -->
</object>
</div>

The seemingly redundant param element is for IE.
