The PreTeXt Guide

Subsection 4.29.2 Author-Provided Videos

If you own and possess your video content, then you can distribute it with your PreTeXt source, and it can be hosted as part of your HTML output. Then the @source should be a relative file name that points to the file containing the video. If you are able to provide more than one of the three formats in Table 4.29.0.41, then you can provide the filename without an extension. If a browser cannot play one format, it may be able to play another. PreTeXt will write the code to make that happen, preferentially in the order of the table (more open formats first!). In other words, you can provide files in more than one format and increase the likelihood that a reader’s browser will find a format it can playback.
