由于Embed标签是Netscape的私有财产，故一直未被W3C认可，对于各种媒体文件使用Embed标签是非标准的，如何改变？Elizabeth Castro的 Bye Bye Embed 一文对于各种媒体播放器给出了很好的符合web标准的代码。
FLash文件

上面的代码没有Windows Media Player特有的classid，作者在IE5.5, IE6, IE7, Opera Win/Mac, Firefox Win/Mac, Safari下测试通过。
QuickTime movies 没有 embed 标签
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80- »

<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="video/quicktime"
