I need to load a mpeg-dash video in Google Chrome. Is it possible to load an mpeg-dash video format directly into the HTML5 video tag? Do I need an external library? If I can load it directly to a video tag. What value do I set for the type attribute on the source tag?

Google Chrome does only provide the decoding interface to decode and render DASH content. The interpretation, download of the media segments, bitrate adaptation, etc. has to be done in a JS player implementation.
Therefore you can use either the DASH-IF impelmentation dash.js http://dashif.org/software/ or the bitdash player on http://www.dash-player.com. Both are free.
