Flash is dead.

At least, that’s what we’re told: thanks to the introduction of the HTML5 video and audio elements, Flash is now dead.

Of course, we know this statement isn’t true: Flash will have its place in web pages for many years to come. However, thanks to the new HTML5 media elements, we’re no longer totally dependent on Flash in order to embed a playable audio or video file in our web pages.

If you're a web developer or designer familiar with CSS and JavaScript, this tightly focused introduction shows you how to add HTML5 media elements to your web pages, and how to provide custom controls for letting web visitors interact with the content.

You'll also learn how to provide subtitles and captions, using file formats that work in browsers now. This book includes code samples and downloadable examples to help you take full advantage of audio and video in your web pages.

Ensure your audio or video works in all browsers that support HTML5 media elements
Learn about widely supported media file codecs and containers
Customize the appearance of media elements with CSS
Build your own applications to work with and control media elements
Apply video subtitles and closed captioning with SRT and WebVTT
Use SVG filters with HTML5, and play videos in your Canvas applications
Explore upcoming features, including support for multiple tracks and synchronized playback
