you are trying to play video in html5 format. consider that not all browsers support this, and not all browsers support all formats.

The video tag was introduced in HTML5. So it will only be displayed in HTML5 supported browsers.

For other browsers, you can use flash videos. But this requires users to install the flash player. And that is tricky to implement. (Honestly I do not know how to play audio/video using flash, I just know it can be done.)
