What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

On Chrome desktop the video format fallback example doesn't fallback to another video format as intended.

Chrome has deprecated the ogg video format but still supports ogg audio. This leads to just audio playing rather than the video falling back to another format source.

What did you expect to see?

I expected the video to fail to play the ogg format, and fallback to the alternative sources provided, video/avi or video/mp4.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
