To integrate a video file to DITA content, proceed as follows:

  1. Add the video file to the folder containing the topic.
  2. Add an <object> element containing the video as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="topic1">
    <title>Video player</title>
    <body>
        <p>
            <object data="my-video.mp4" outputclass="video" height="590" width="700"/>
        </p>
        <p>
            <object data="videos/MyVideo.mp4" outputclass="video" width="560px" height="315px">
            <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
        </object>

It is also possible to use the following syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="topic1">
    <title>Video player</title>
    <body>
        <p>
            <object data="videos/MyVideo.mp4" outputclass="video" width="560px" height="315px">
            <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
        </object>
