Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Document type declaration for HTML5 -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata for specifying character encoding -->
<title>How to specify the width of the embedded content</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<embed type="video/mp4" src="https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_videos/pop.mp4" width="300" height="300"><!-- Embedding a video with specified width and height -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

The document starts with the doctype declaration specifying that it is an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the HTML document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding specified using the meta tag and the title of the document.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
The <embed> element is used to embed external content such as multimedia files (in this case, a video).
The type attribute specifies the media type of the embedded content, which is set to "video/mp4" indicating a video file in MP4 format.
The src attribute specifies the URL of the video file to be embedded.
The width and height attributes specify the dimensions of the embedded content, setting the width to 300 pixels and the height to 300 pixels.
The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
