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 specify that the audio output of the video should be muted</title><!-- Title of the HTML page -->
</head><!-- End of document header -->
<body><!-- Start of document body -->
<video width="300" height="250" controls muted><!-- Video element with specified width, height, controls, and muted attributes -->
<source src="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/php-demo1.mp4" type="video/mp4"><!-- Source of the video in MP4 format -->
<source src="https://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.
The width attribute is set to 300 pixels and the height attribute is set to 250 pixels, specifying the dimensions of the video player.
The controls attribute is included to display video controls, allowing users to interact with the video playback.
The muted attribute is included to specify that the audio output of the video should be muted.
Within the <video> tag, <source> tags are used to specify different video formats (MP4 and OGG) using the src attribute and the corresponding MIME type using the type attribute.
This code creates a video player with muted audio output.
