Multimedia formats

Formats Multimedia elements (such as video and audio) are stored in media files.

The most common way to determine the media type is to look at the file extension. When a browser gets a file extension of .htm or .html, it assumes that the file is an HTML page. The .xml extension indicates an XML file, while the .css extension indicates a stylesheet. The image format is identified by .gif or .jpg.

Multimedia elements also have file formats with different extensions, such as .swf, .wmv, .mp3 and .mp4.

Note: The latest HTML5 standard only supports MP4, WebM, and Ogg video formats.
