In the previous articles, we introduced the characteristics of HTML5 and the basic knowledge that needs to be mastered. Now let’s start to truly experience the advantages of Html5. Let’s start making a beautiful video player. Don’t worry, before we start making it. Let’s first understand the basic knowledge of video files.
1. Video format
The currently more mainstream and commonly used video formats are: avi, rmvb, wmv, mpeg4, ogg, and webm. These videos are composed of three parts: video, audio, and encoding format. In HTML5, there are currently many different sets of encoders depending on the browser:
H.264 (personally not optimistic): This encoder is the encoder in Apple systems including Apple mobile phones, and has a patent video encoder. Royalties may be charged for any part of the encoding and transmission process. Therefore, Safari (Apple's browser) and Internet Explorer support this encoder. However, at a time when open source has become a general trend, it is still charging patent fees in browsers. I am really not optimistic about it.
Theora: This is a patent-free encoding format and a free video encoder for all levels of encoding, transmission and playback. Chrome, Firefox and Opera support this encoder.
VP8: This video encoder is similar to Theora, but its owner is Google, which has been open source, so no patent fees are required. Chrome, Firefox and Opera support this encoder.
AAC: audio codec, the same as H.264, this audio codec has patent restrictions, Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer support this audio codec.
MP3: Also a patented technology, this audio encoder is supported by Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
PCM: A format for storing data on audio CDs that stores complete data encoded by an analog-to-digital converter. Therefore, the file size of the Chinese lossless encoder is generally several times that of AAC and MP3 files. Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer support this audio encoder.
Vorbis: The file extension is .ogg, sometimes also called Ogg Vorbis. This audio encoder is not protected by patents and is therefore copyright free. Supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
Video and audio supported by major browsers and devices
2. In html5, you can use the There are many attributes in the video tag. For example, the controls attribute can control whether There is a console. From the above video formats, we can see that different browsers support different video formats, so we can use the 3.

There is no difference between HTML5 and H5, which is the abbreviation of HTML5. 1.HTML5 is the fifth version of HTML, which enhances the multimedia and interactive functions of web pages. 2.H5 is often used to refer to HTML5-based mobile web pages or applications, and is suitable for various mobile devices.

HTML5 is the latest version of the Hypertext Markup Language, standardized by W3C. HTML5 introduces new semantic tags, multimedia support and form enhancements, improving web structure, user experience and SEO effects. HTML5 introduces new semantic tags, such as, ,, etc., to make the web page structure clearer and the SEO effect better. HTML5 supports multimedia elements and no third-party plug-ins are required, improving user experience and loading speed. HTML5 enhances form functions and introduces new input types such as, etc., which improves user experience and form verification efficiency.

How to write clean and efficient HTML5 code? The answer is to avoid common mistakes by semanticizing tags, structured code, performance optimization and avoiding common mistakes. 1. Use semantic tags such as, etc. to improve code readability and SEO effect. 2. Keep the code structured and readable, using appropriate indentation and comments. 3. Optimize performance by reducing unnecessary tags, using CDN and compressing code. 4. Avoid common mistakes, such as the tag not closed, and ensure the validity of the code.

H5 improves web user experience with multimedia support, offline storage and performance optimization. 1) Multimedia support: H5 and elements simplify development and improve user experience. 2) Offline storage: WebStorage and IndexedDB allow offline use to improve the experience. 3) Performance optimization: WebWorkers and elements optimize performance to reduce bandwidth consumption.

HTML5 code consists of tags, elements and attributes: 1. The tag defines the content type and is surrounded by angle brackets, such as. 2. Elements are composed of start tags, contents and end tags, such as contents. 3. Attributes define key-value pairs in the start tag, enhance functions, such as. These are the basic units for building web structure.

HTML5 is a key technology for building modern web pages, providing many new elements and features. 1. HTML5 introduces semantic elements such as, , etc., which enhances web page structure and SEO. 2. Support multimedia elements and embed media without plug-ins. 3. Forms enhance new input types and verification properties, simplifying the verification process. 4. Offer offline and local storage functions to improve web page performance and user experience.

Best practices for H5 code include: 1. Use correct DOCTYPE declarations and character encoding; 2. Use semantic tags; 3. Reduce HTTP requests; 4. Use asynchronous loading; 5. Optimize images. These practices can improve the efficiency, maintainability and user experience of web pages.

Web standards and technologies have evolved from HTML4, CSS2 and simple JavaScript to date and have undergone significant developments. 1) HTML5 introduces APIs such as Canvas and WebStorage, which enhances the complexity and interactivity of web applications. 2) CSS3 adds animation and transition functions to make the page more effective. 3) JavaScript improves development efficiency and code readability through modern syntax of Node.js and ES6, such as arrow functions and classes. These changes have promoted the development of performance optimization and best practices of web applications.
