The HTML5 draft specification defines several tags which allow video and audio to be included natively and semantically in HTML markup. This page compares support for aspects of this specification among layout engines.

Contents

Engine nomenclature

Rather than the names of web browsers and HTML to PDF converters, the names of the underlying engines are used. Some of the software and online converters that use the various engines are listed below.

Values

Values indicate the level of support in the most recent version of the layout engine, or (if a version number is given) in the specified version. Version numbers without any other value indicate the version at which the layout engine first fully supported the feature.

Element attributes

Media elements allow some attributes to be set directly in the tag.

DOM attributes

Some attributes related to media elements are exposed in the DOM.

DOM events

Media elements introduce new events to handle conditions which apply only to those elements, such as pausing/resuming.

Video format support

This table documents support for video codecs by the <video> element.

Audio format support

This table documents support for audio codecs by the <audio> element.
