Video element in HTML5

Many trendy websites offer videos. HTML 5 provides a standard for displaying video.

Videos on the Web

Until now, there was still no standard that aimed at displaying videos on web pages. Today, most videos are displayed through plug-ins (such as Flash). However, not all browsers have the same plugins. HTML 5 specifies a standard way to include video through the video element.

HTML5 supported video formats

Currently, the video element supports three video formats:

Ogg = Ogg file with Theora video encoding and Vorbis audio encoding

MPEG4 = with H.264 MPEG 4 files with video encoding and AAC audio encoding

WebM = WebM files with VP8 video encoding and Vorbis audio encoding

How does it work?

To display a video in HTML 5, all you need is:

<video src="movie.ogg" controls="controls"></video>
