Specifying Multiple Video Formats

If you have multiple video formats, you can use the “source” tag. Browser will pick the one it understands or most suitable. Example:

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