I have written the following html code to show video

XML

<h4 style="color:#419503;">Visit this fun video</h4>
  <video width="400" controls>
  <source src="video/KateSafari3.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>

When I run the html page in Crome it shows the video control but video not showing.

As per http://www.encoding.com/html5/[^] I'd say the most obvious issue might be the lack of MP4 video codec on the system where the browser is running, additionally a Vorbis codec will be needed for the ogg file.

There's a similar issue logged on the Chrome Support -> https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/EdX_Crq5evw[^]

Hope this helps.
