Alternatively, the source of the video or audio data can be provided in a
source
element that can have a
type
attribute to identify speciic media formats
and encodings. If used, the
source
element must be a direct child of the
video
element and come before any fallback content. For example:
<video autoplay controls>
<source src="flick.mp4"
type="video/mp4; codecs='avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2'"/>
<!-- fall-back content -->
</video>
A discussion of the various types and encodings of audio and video data is
beyond the scope of this topic. he W3C's drat HTML5 speciication has a list
of the supported media
type
values and corresponding
source
elements.
