In fact, what point are you trying to make? I could make it more complicated by introducing some JS to pull the video into a complicated div structure with caption and what not, similar to what NYT does (FYI, NYT's site as far as I can tell from their DOCTYPE is not HTML5 but HTML4.). But it's the same concept.
oh lord... you really aren't this uninformed, right?

MY POINT IS THAT NO REAL WEBSITE WOULD USE THAT METHOD... IT WAS DEPRECATED FOR GOOD REASON YEARS AGO.

The NYT uses html5 when it encounters an iPad (probably same for iphone, I didn't bother to look)... obviously you don't know that different sites can be served to different clients...

If you are on an iPad... you probably won't see what follows next...
