Test cases have been removed at the request of my ISP; they were taking up WAY too much bandwidth.
Note the syntax; IE and Firefox need the source and type.
<video controls> <source src="../videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <p>Your browser does not support H.264/MP4.</p> </video>
Fallback content only supported when the browser does not support the <video> tag at all. Bloody useless; what you’d want is to switch to fallback when, say, you only have WebM available and the browser doesn’t support that codec.
