There's only so many times you can answer a client "this won't work on Safari" before adding another layer feels inevitable.

The answer is not "this won't work in Safari", but "Safari is specific, that would be extra XX manhours, is it worth to you?"

It is only so much, that the clients are willing to invest extra into Safari, iPhones and iPads notwithstanding.

So transcode for Safari, and be explicit that they are getting lesser quality simply because Apple refuses to let Safari play better content.
