Media Elements and SVG
In March 2010, Paul Irish wrote about spending some time with folks proficient with SVG, and provided a web page demonstrating how to use SVG and HTML5. At Webjam8, Andreas Bovens demonstrated the use of HTML5 media elements with SVG and SMIL. Mike Thomas showed how to use SVG masks with video to beautiful effect. Mr. Doob demonstrated how to combine SVG and HTML5 audio to create a 3D Waveform. Erik Dahlström created a terrific music video based, in part, on the use of SVG patterns.

There are two ways you can combine the HTML5 media elements with SVG: using the SVG capabilities with media elements within an HTML document, or embedding an HTML5 media element within an SVG document.
