**Owen Fernandes** · 29-12-2009

Hello Friends,

I am developing one Html page to display all my favorite videos and images. I am successfully added the desired images into the html page. But the actual thing is that I don't know html tag which is used to insert the video in the html page.
Is anyone knows how to include the video file in Html? I am waiting for your reply.

Hello,

Html language has the special tag to include the video file and it is "<embed>" tag. The attributes of the <embed>" tag include the "SRC" attribute. You need to provide the value for src attribute. The valid value for this src attribute is the path of your video file. see following example:

HTML Code:

<embed src="D:\Demo\asd.avi">
</embed>

Hi friend,

In html the <image> tag is not only used to insert the image in the html document but also to insert the video file. The <image> tag attribute known as "dynsrc" attribute is used to include the video file. You have to provide the path of the video file to this attribute. Along with this attribute you also need to include the "start" attribute. This attribute is used to play the given video file.

Hello friend,

Please carefully study the below html example. In this html example I have included the embed tag to insert the video file "thn.avi".

HTML Code:

<Html>
<Title>
Video demo
</Title> 
<body text=red, bgcolor=blue>
<embed src="E:\demoVideos\thn.avi">
</embed>
</body>
</html>

Hi,

There are two ways available in HTML to include the video file within the HTML document.
1. Use embed tag:
Syntax:

HTML Code:

<embed src="complete path of desired video"></embed>

example:

HTML Code:

<embed src="E:\videos\vd.avi"></embed>

2. Use image tag:
Syntax:

HTML Code:

<img dynsrc="complete path of desired video">

example:

HTML Code:

<img dynsrc="E:\videos\vd.avi">

I found this html code in one of the html book. I have tested the below code on my system and it's running successfully.

<Body vlink=blue text= blue>
<h5>
Html program to display video file
</h5>

<EMBED HEIGHT="100" SRC="Htmlvideo.avi" WIDTH="100" AUTOSTART="FALSE">

</EMBED>

</Body>
