Video is another new feature of HTML5.

<video> tag is used to show our video in the web page.

Handling video is very similar to audio.

A src attribute will be needed to state the url of our video.

Similar with audio, we can use <controls> attribute to display the playback bar and <source> element to place alternative formats of our video.

The video formats that are supported on HTML5 are:

.mp4, .webm and .ogg.

Currently only Chrome, Firefox and Opera support all these formats. 

 Example:

<video controls>
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
