Is there any way to embed HTML5 videos (basically what Gfycat produces) ?
They're so much quicker and interactive than actual gifs (pause, zoom in, rewind, frame-by-frame).

I'm not sure. I know I've seen them before but I can't quickly find an example to test. Mind linking to one?

Seems to me the easiest way to do it would be via an iframe. Otherwise, the site you're trying to embed it on would need to implement their JavaScript library.

The iframe didn't result in a video when I tried it earlier --
<iframe src="http://gfycat.com/iframe/RadiantSpitefulBlueandgoldmackaw" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="600" height="338" ></iframe>

That's because you can't post HTML here. I'd need to create a tag for it before it would work on the site. My answer was more of an "in general" answer.

Right -- so long as gifs work, it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks mate
