Open video in default media player in HTML - html

I am trying to open a video in my default media player. I have inserted video hyperlinks in my HTML document.
When I click on the hyperlink, instead of opening the video, it downloads the video.
I want the hyperlink to open the video in the user's default media player without downloading the video.
This is what I have so far:

Please advise. Thank you.

This is how you can use video tag in html5:
code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>

</html>

That's simply not how you embed video in html5. This is:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

You can't open the default media player without downloading, but if you want you can make a page with just a html5 video player like Mayers said.

dynamic image background of html5 video

I am using video tag of HTML5. But before playing the video it shows the very first second of the video as the image; however, that image is solid black for my case; so I would like to know if I can have the default image (before hitting the play button) from somewhere of the middle of the video without using a static poster for all videos. I like to have images which will be a part of that video, I mean dynamic image as a background.
Any suggestions will help me a lot..!!
You need to generate thumbnails for your videos and use the thumbnail images using the poster attribute of the HTML5 video Tag.
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
You can use ffmpeg to generate thumbnails at any timeline from your videos.
You can Use this poster tag
<video width="320" height="240" poster="/images/w3html5.gif" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

To create your own image output :)
Well Keep it Up hope i Answered you As you Want.
All the Best. :)

video not loading in html5

I'm having a problem with the HTML5 video player, doesn't show the video, in a html file I have:
<video>
<source src="video.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
Video tag not supported.
<video>
I even tried without the codec atributte in chrome I gets nothing, only the black square of the reproductor
the file video.mp4 is inside the same folder of the html, it doesn't even show a preview, nothing!
It should work with HTML5 video tag perfectly. I've put an example for your reference.
<video controls="" autoplay name="media">
<source src="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/video/basics/devstories.mp4" type="video/mp4;codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"">
</video>
This should work perfectly:
<video width="300" height="200" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

How to view video in html5 tag?

I would like to ask question about how to play a video on my browser. When I try to load my video file to my browser it displays nothing. My teacher said that maybe it is because the browser is not supported by html5.

you can try this one:
<body>
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

If your teacher say your browser doesn't support html5.
Try double check in your browser eg. if you using chrome
Go to Menu --> Setting --> About and if it say need to be updated then click update.
Chrome support with html5 tag. Really weird if it not.
