The internet is never complete without youtube and it's embed videos and now you can get youtube to play videos in HTML 5!
What is HTML 5? HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web , a core technology of the Internet. It is the latest revision of the HTML standard (originally created in 1990 and most recently standardized as HTML4 in 1997[1]) and currently remains under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML4, but XHTML1 and DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well.
So basically by using HTML 5 you can play videos without using <video> tag.
