HTML5 - mp4 video does not play in IE9

Question

I have an mp4 video that I want to play in IE9 using HTML5 tag. I added the MIME type to IIS 7 so if I browse http://localhost/video.mp4

Answer 1

If it's still not working here's what may certainly be a solution: encode the mp4 with compression format H.264. If you encode it with format mpeg4 or divx or else it will not work on IE9 and may as well crash Google Chrome. To do that, I use Any Video Converter freeware. But it could be done with any good video tool out there.

I've been trying all solutions listed here and tried other workaround for days but the problem lied in the way I created my mp4. IE9 does not decode other format than H.264.

Hope this helps, Jimmy
