public class Video<T extends Video<T>> extends StyledElement<T>
Represents the HTML <video> element for embedding video content.

The Video class provides a Java representation of the HTML video element, which embeds video content in web pages. It supports various video formats and provides controls for playback, volume, dimensions, and other video-specific features including poster images and subtitle tracks.

All playable media attributes (autoplay, controls, crossorigin, loop, muted, preload, src) are inherited from MediaElement. Intrinsic width and height are inherited from EmbeddedElement.

Usage Example:


 // Create a basic video player
 Video videoPlayer = new Video();
 videoPlayer.setSrc("/videos/presentation.mp4");
 videoPlayer.setControls(true);
 videoPlayer.setIntrinsicWidth(640);
 videoPlayer.setIntrinsicHeight(480);
 videoPlayer.setPoster("/images/video-poster.jpg");

 // Create an auto-playing looping video
 Video bgVideo = new Video();
 bgVideo.setSrc("/videos/background.mp4");
 bgVideo.setAutoPlay(true);
 bgVideo.setLoop(true);
 bgVideo.setMuted(true);
 bgVideo.setPreload(Preload.AUTO);

 // Create video with multiple format sources
 Video multiFormat = new Video();
 multiFormat.setControls(true);
 multiFormat.setIntrinsicWidth(800);
 multiFormat.setIntrinsicHeight(600);
 Source mp4Source = new Source();
 mp4Source.setSrc("/videos/movie.mp4");
 mp4Source.setType("video/mp4");
 Source webmSource = new Source();
 webmSource.setSrc("/videos/movie.webm");
 webmSource.setType("video/webm");
 multiFormat.addElement(mp4Source);
 multiFormat.addElement(webmSource);
