HTML MEDIA (AUDIO AND VIDEO)

HTML5 features include native audio and video support without the need for Flash.
The HTML5 <audio> and <video> tags make it simple to add media to a website. You need to set src
attribute to identify the media source and include a controls attribute so the user can play and pause the
media.

Embedding Video
Here is the simplest form of embedding a video file in your webpage −
<video src = "foo.mp4" width = "300" height = "200" controls>
Your browser does not support the <video> element.
</video>
The current HTML5 draft specification does not specify which video formats browsers should support in
the video tag. But most commonly used video formats are −

 Ogg − Ogg files with Thedora video codec and Vorbis audio codec.
 mpeg4 − MPEG4 files with H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec.
You can use <source> tag to specify media along with media type and many other attributes. A
video element allows multiple source elements and browser will use the first recognized format −
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>

<video width = "300" height = "200" controls autoplay>


<source src = "/html5/foo.ogg" type ="video/ogg" />
<source src = "/html5/foo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the <video> element.
</video>

</body>
</html>
Video Attribute Specification
The HTML5 video tag can have a number of attributes to control the look and feel and various
functionalities of the control −
Sr.No. Attribute & Description
autoplay
1 This Boolean attribute if specified, the video will automatically begin to play back as soon as
it can do so without stopping to finish loading the data.
autobuffer
2 This Boolean attribute if specified, the video will automatically begin buffering even if it's
not set to automatically play.
3 controls
If this attribute is present, it will allow the user to control video playback, including volume,
seeking, and pause/resume playback.
height
4
This attribute specifies the height of the video's display area, in CSS pixels.
loop
5 This Boolean attribute if specified, will allow video automatically seek back to the start after
reaching at the end.
preload
6 This attribute specifies that the video will be loaded at page load, and ready to run. Ignored
if autoplay is present.
poster
7
This is a URL of an image to show until the user plays or seeks.
src
8 The URL of the video to embed. This is optional; you may instead use the <source> element
within the video block to specify the video to embed.
width
9
This attribute specifies the width of the video's display area, in CSS pixels.

Embedding Audio
HTML5 supports <audio> tag which is used to embed sound content in an HTML or XHTML document as
follows.
<audio src = "foo.wav" controls autoplay>
Your browser does not support the <audio> element.
</audio>
The current HTML5 draft specification does not specify which audio formats browsers should support in
the audio tag. But most commonly used audio formats are ogg, mp3 and wav.
