Chapter 6. Mixing
HTML5
Video
and
Canvas
Using the new
<video>
tag, HTML5 lets sites show video directly in HTML without needing
any plug-in technologies. However, the simple
<video>
tag opens up a whole slew of com-

in this chapter, we will introduce you to the HTML5
<video>
tag and then show you ways in
which video can be incorporated and manipulated by HTML5 Canvas.
