RE: EPUB -Videos

Hi Sirisha,

It is possible to embed video in an EPUB file (using <video>), but many authors and publishers choose not to because it makes the files very large.

Please see https://www.w3.org/Submission/2017/SUBM-epub-contentdocs-20170125/Overview.html#sec-xhtml-fallbacks.

Subject: EPUB -Videos

Can we have video lectures embedded in the Ebooks and have them available offline.
To elaborate,  if a student downloads the Ebook, the videos should also be downloaded.
As of now I can add videos as links only.
Please provide any suggestion you may have?

Thanks,
Siri
