HTML 5 will include tools to play and display video and audio inside the browser, with just one simple HTML tag. While they’re crucial currently, you may find yourself asking ‘who needs plug-ins now?’

BROWSER PLUGINS ARE, to say the least, awkward. You never know just what your users have installed, or even which versions they support. We’ve all been there, with a fresh install of Firefox, suddenly finding we don’t have the right plug-in or codec to see the video that’s waiting for us on someone’s site. It’s frustrating and annoying, and sometimes it’s just easier to go somewhere else.
HTML 5 is intended to make that go away. Not only does it add video and audio tags that work just like our old friend , it’s also expected to mandate browser support for key media types, including the open source Ogg formats.
