idangerous swiper prevents HTML5 play button working in ie10

I have an embedded HTML5 video which works fine in all browsers (or fails
gracefully, if the browser is old or lacks video support). But since my
site uses iDangerous Swiper
(http://www.idangero.us/sliders/swiper/api.php), the custom video controls
- the 'play/pause' button - does not work in Internet Explorer 10.
If I remove the swiper js code embed from the head area of my HTML, the
embedded video plays fine in ie10. The problem seems to be that Swiper is
intercepting the click on the play button in ie10 - and therefore the
solution seems to be to disable Swiper for at least that small area of the
page.
But it's not clear how to do it.
There seems to be a very scantly documented new feature in the June 2013
Swiper release which lets one create a 'noSwiping' class, but wrapping the
video in a div with this class does not solve the ie10 problem.
Has anyone else needed to disable Swiper for an element and succeeded in
doing so, particularly regarding ie...? I would be very glad to see a code
example. My own project is still on localhost.
