I am looking for a way to embed videos on web pages without using a plugin like Flash or Silverlight. Ideally, I could <embed src="movie.ext">expect this to work in most browsers.
<embed src="movie.ext">
I am going to encode a video in a format that works in IE7 and later, Chrome and Firefox. But I need to know which codec is the most portable.
Unfortunately, support for IE7 excludes HTML5 video support.
H.264 and WebM are what you need.
H.264 is supported in Safari and IE (they also refuse to include support for WebM), WebM is supported by alternative browsers Chrome (of course), Firefox and Opera.
