HTML5 would just call <video='asdasdfa'/> and it would be up to the video codec to determine whether it needed DRM. Almost all of the video containers, i.e. .mp4, .wmv have the ability to do DRM.
The thing that many people are complaining about at this point is that HTML5 games (a huge industry) have their source in the open (even if obfuscated). Flash game designers appear to be disappointed that their work will be able to be read and critiqued, making communications with the server easier to decode and possibly fake/automate. That might eliminate a lot of the client/server poker clients and push them to be webapp/server based.
