HTML 5′s

At Google I/O 2009, many new and innovative web browser additions were shown off. One that really caught my attention was the “

The Video tag will allow web developers to embed various video formats into their websites, without the need for plugins to view them. Without the need for 3rd party resources like Flash or DivX, embedding video into your website will allow many more users to view the video, as well as give you the power to add custom functionality with already available resources. The simplicity of the Video tag walks right along side its brother, the Image tag.

Simply place a Video tag in your source code, point it at which ever file you want to play, and thats it! You can use Java in sync with the Video tag to allow more functionality of the video, things like playing, stopping, and even rotating your Video is all possible. The video tag has been implemented into the HTML standard, and all open source web browsers can take full advantage of it.
