Can I play a video in a web page locally (offline)?

I'm creating a demo on an Android 3.1 tablet, I need to deliver the demo locally (offline). The demo will basically be a series of HTML pages with embedded HTML5 videos.

I know the demo will work if I deliver it via the Net, but I don't want to do that. Will Firefox play HTML5 video in pages that I load from local storage? Or do the pages have to be served by a web server for the video to play?

Yes, Firefox can play videos in HTML pages saved on your computer. For example, if you open a page that contains HTML5 videos and choose "Save Page As..." from the Firefox menu, and choose the "Web page (complete)" option, then Firefox should save the videos too in a separate folder, and play them when you open the saved page.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Hmmm... Firefox7 for Android doesn't seem to have a "Save Page As" function (or maybe I just haven't found it yet). Maybe I could save the page on a Windows machine, transfer it to my tablet, and load it there? I'll see if that works.
