HTML5 Multimedia (Video & Audio) The HTML5 native multimedia support got rid of the painful <object> tags and its parameter hassles. Now all that you need to embed a multimedia object onto your webpage is literally THREE lines of code.
<video width=”640” height=”320” controls=”controls”> <source src=”filename.mp4” type=”video/mp4” /> </video> and you are done!!!! (The controls parameter, if not present, the PLAY, PAUSE, VOLUME controls are not displayed) I don’t think I write the markup for the audio tag. The only difference is that you needn’t specify the width and height.
