Hi,
I am trying to put/embed/load a video in HTML 5, and it seems not to be working. :/ I know the extension is wrong, But I cant convert it or it wont play. Also, I dont really know how to get the right video format (I already tried real player converter, and some random online convertor) CODE <h2> Cholestrol <h2> <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls"> <source src="healthy.flv" /> <embed src="healhty.flv" width="320" height="240"> </embed> </video> |

Flash is not a recognizable video format for use in html5 video tag. Use h264 in an mp4 container.
Also embed is not valid html5 markup. See this post for more. -------------------- |

There are any number of convertors. Handbrake, MiroVideo, Quicktime7, MPEG Streamclip
Mac or WIndows or Linux? -------------------- |

Have they removed EMBED again?

It's been gone since html4 hasn't it? When it was replaced with object.
HTML5 uses video and audio tags for media. -------------------- |

It never was in HTML before but HTML5 included it. If still seems to be there.

Oops!
I guess there is an embed tag, although I can hardly ever understand the Wc3 docs fully. From what I understand that is for applications (plug-ins), which there is a movement away from. So even though embed is valid markup, it isn't so relevant to "embedding video". I mean you can use it, but i wouldn't. -------------------- |
