It seems that the W3C Markup Validator has a bug in its HTML5 mode: it acts as if audio and video elements allowed only one source element in their content. A minimal document to demonstrate this: <!doctype html><title></title> <video><source src=foo><source src=bar></video> It passes validator.nu validation. > I need both source tags Yes, and it's part of the very idea of audio and video elements that you can specify alternate sources with different media types. Technically you could do the same using nested audio (or video) elements with src attributes, but the source element approach is cleaner and simpler - and of course the validator's bug does not affect browser behavior. (Browser support to these elements and to the data formats is an entirely different issue.) -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
