type="MIME type"
Example
<embed src="conference-report.mp4" type="video/mp4"></embed>
Description
The type
attribute is used in addition to (or in place of) the src attribute, and lets the
author define the MIME Type of the
embed content. In most cases, though, this attribute is
not required as the browser can determine the MIME type based on the URL
or based on the header sent by the server for the embed content.
Value
MIME type in the format type/subtype,
e.g. "text/html",
"application/x-shockwave-flash" or
"video/mp4"
