There is no specific TAG.video tag. Rather, the TAG helper can be used to
create custom tags -- so TAG.video() would be a custom tag. This is
documented here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05#Custom-Helpers
web2py doesn't specifically support or not support embedding video or HTML5
tags -- those are browser issues. You can put any HTML/CSS you want in your
web2py view files -- whether it works or not will depend on the browser, not
web2py. Note, though, that you do NOT have to build all of your HTML using
the web2py HTML helpers -- instead, you can simply include regular HTML
markup in your views (interspersed with Python code, as explained in the
book).
