Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Define document type as HTML -->
<html><!-- Begin HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of document header -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Define character encoding -->
<title>How to define a video or movie</title><!-- Title of the HTML page -->
</head><!-- End of document header -->
<body><!-- Start of document body -->
<video width="320" height="200" controls><!-- Video element with specified width, height, and controls -->
<source src="http://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/php-demo1.mp4" type="video/mp4"><!-- Source of the video in MP4 format -->
<source src="http://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/php-demo1.ogg" type="video/ogg"><!-- Source of the video in OGG format -->
</video><!-- End of video element -->
</body><!-- End of document body -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

The HTML code defines a video element using the <video> tag.
Attributes such as width, height, and controls are used to specify the dimensions of the video and to provide playback controls.
Within the <video> tag, <source> tags are used to specify different video formats (MP4 and OGG) using the src attribute.
The type attribute of each <source> tag specifies the MIME type of the video file.
This code creates a video player that allows users to watch the video file specified by the src attribute with the provided controls.
