Video tag in html5

[vantheo]

Hello,

Can I use the video tag in html or just need html5 to use the tag <video>. What is the proper code to experiment it on my website.

Something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

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

If you want to support both Firefox and Safari you have to either convince Safari users to install XiphQT or encode your video twice in different formats:

Code: Select all

<video controls>
<source src=video.ogg type=video/ogg>
<source src=video.mp4>
</video>

You can put an <embed> element inside the video element as fallback for browsers that don't support <video>.

HTH,
