New Media Elements

Before HTML5, there was no standard for playing audios or videos on webpages, unless used with a plug-in (like flash). The HTML5 <audio> and <video> elements specifies a standard way to embed audio and video in a web page.

Tag Description
<audio> Defines sound or music content
<embed> Defines containers for external applications (like plug-ins)
<source> Defines sources for <video> and <audio>
<track> Defines tracks for <video> and <audio>
<video> Defines video or movie content

This should be very interesting. Goodbye to You Tube?
