[YouTube-API] Re: Is YT iFrame a native VIDEO tag in HTML5 ?

Hello Zdravko,

When I visited that site and let the tutorial video play, the end
result was a new frame on the page with the AS3 player in it (maybe
because the browser I was using isn't opted in to the HTML5 beta). So
I don't think they're doing anything groundbreaking other than
providing a wrapper on top of the <iframe> embed and API—there doesn't
seem to be any deeper integration than that from what I could tell.

But to answer the question from your subject line, sure, the <iframe>
embed does use the native HTML5 <video> tag when HTML5 playback is
used. That's the whole point.

Cheers,
