Best asked on vbulletin.com, but basically we don't know if/when they will ever change it in vBulletin code.

I did a quick search of the tracker and found something partially related, pasted this thread link in as a suggestion and voted. Just do a search for html5 you should get 5 or so results.

    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <!--[if IE 6]>
    <embed width="640" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id={vb:raw code}" />
    <![endif]--></object>

Replace with:

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'vimeo'" />
    <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/{vb:raw code}?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Note while HTML5 is the future, being it's an iframe there is difference in SEO using HTML5 over flash, basically the old way is better for SEO.

This method doesn't work for me on mobile (Safari, iOS 7). Works fine (flash) in desktop view. In mobile, the video simply doesn't show up at all.
