"HTML5 defines a standard way to embed video in a web page, using a video element. Support for the video element is still evolving, which is a polite way of saying it doesn't work yet. At least, it doesn't work everywhere. But don't despair! There are alternatives and fallbacks and options galore."

Very interesting. The article gives a good introduction about what "video in a web page" really is. It's worth knowing about containers and codec formats. For web designers, knowing about how the upcoming HTML 5 will work in real life, is an excellent goal for further education. Finally, the article is written well.

Isn't it funny that the things we learned stealing movies are now marketable skills? ...uh, I mean "the things we learned making backups of our legally-purchased DVSs," of course

That didn't look so hard ;-) LoL
It's quiet a lot of text, but it's good. If you really, really want to, you could also just skip to the end if you don't want to know the 'why' but are more interrested in the 'how'.
