Hello I'm building a webpage I've got everything else but i don't know how to embed a video using html5? This is very important in my website so help would be very appreciated.

Answer 1

<video id="myMovie" width="640" height="360" poster="video.png"  >
     <source src="20140810_131405.mp4">
</video>

using the video tag. The poster attribute is the thumbnail pic. Obviously the source links to the actual video file.
