You can't. Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, do not support the <video> element.

You would have to have a separate Flash based version of your site for IE8 and below, or a "Sorry! This site requires IE9 or greater, or Firefox, or Chrome" message.

How to support ie8
You cannot. It's the browser that does not support it and you don't have any control on it.

HTML5 is new and all the browsers are trying support as much HTML5 features possible in their current and upcoming versions. HTML5 is not back compatible with older version of browsers.
