1. API介绍
多媒体API是HTML5非常重要的特性之一，用户可以直接通过代码<video src="xyz.ogv" type=video/ogg"></video> 来插入一个video，而在传统的HTML4中需要写<object type="video/ogg" data="xyz.ogv"><param name="src" value="xyz.ogv"></object>一长串代码。通常所指的HTML5多媒体API是Audio 和 Video，目前浏览器支持情况以及支持相应的codec如下图所示：
2. Video API介绍
一个典型的HTML5 video API代码如下：<video src="movie.ogg" width="320" height="240" controls="controls“></video>
在HTML5里面是怎么实现对video文件的加载和控制的呢，HTML通过一个类似Zip文件的方式来管理video文件，如下图所示。
一个video文件管理元素包含了audio tracks, video tracks, 和额外的metadata。 Audio tracks 和video tracks是用来实时控制多媒体文件播放的。Tracks的控制属性主要有：
元数据是用来保存相应的歌手，艺术家，属性等信息。

一个Audio播放，暂停控制的例子：<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<title>Audio cue</title>
<audio id="clickSound">
<source src="johann_sebastian_bach_air.ogg">
<source src="johann_sebastian_bach_air.mp3">
</audio>
<button id="toggle" οnclick="toggleSound()">Play</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleSound() {
var music = document.getElementById("clickSound");
var toggle = document.getElementById("toggle");
if (music.paused) {
music.play();
toggle.innerHTML = "Pause";
}
else {
music.pause();
toggle.innerHTML ="Play";
}
}
</script>

一个鼠标放到video上面即暂停的例子：
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<title>Mouseover Video</title>
<video id="movies" οnmοuseοver="this.play()" οnmοuseοut="this.pause()" autobuffer="true"
width="400px" height="300px">
<source src="Intermission-Walk-in.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
<source src="Intermission-Walk-in_512kb.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
</video>
<h1>Point at the video to play it!</h1>
</html>更加复杂的：定时video截屏的例子，使用到了frames。
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<title>Video Timeline</title>
<video id="movies" autoplay οncanplay="startVideo()" οnended="stopTimeline()" autobuffer="true"
width="400px" height="300px">
<source src="Intermission-Walk-in.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
