The fallback is only displayed in a browser if the video element is not supported at all. > 2. ?What is the recommended way for website authors to determine what video and audio codecs and containers are supported by a user agent? Ideally all user agents will have one codec that is supported across all implementations. Failing that there's a JavaScript API for querying codec support. Look for 'canPlayType'.
