7.1- Inserting Video:
i) By Embed Tag: This is the most effective way of inserting the video in web page and you are likely to face less problems of 'plug-in'. However other methods are also explained below.

<embed src=" images/movie.mp4" width="200px" height="200px"> </embed>

ii) By Video Tag:

<video width="200" height="200" controls="controls">

<object height="200px" width="200px" data="images/movie.mp4"></object>
