I understand that HTML5 video is way more complicated than its proponents would like us to believe. Safari uses the proprietary H.264 codec, whereas Firefox, Chrome and Opera all support the open-source Theora. Internet Explorer doesn't support either, so needs a fallback, such as .mov or Flash.

Chrome (Mac and Win) can play either file (tested by one then the other source tags) whether locally or from my production servers. Safari (Mac and Win) can play the mp4 file fine locally but not from production. Firefox 3.6 won't play the
