What is Multimedia?
Multimedia comes in many different formats. It can be almost anything you can hear or see.

Examples: Images, music, sound, videos, records, films, animations, and more.

Web pages often contain multimedia elements of different types and formats.

In this chapter you will learn about the different multimedia formats.
Multimedia Formats
Multimedia elements (like audio or video) are stored in media files.

The most common way to discover the type of a file, is to look at the file extension.

Multimedia files have formats and different extensions like: .swf, .wav, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg, .wmv, and .avi.


How it Works
The controls attribute adds video controls, like play, pause, and volume.

HTML5 Video Tags
Tag Description
video Defines a video or movie
source Defines multiple media resources for media elements, such as video and audio
track Defines text tracks in media players
It is a good idea to always include width and height attributes. If height and width are not set, the page might flicker while the video loads.

The source element allows you to specify alternative video files which the browser may choose from. The browser will use the first recognized format.

The text between the video and video tags will only be displayed in browsers that do not support the video element.
