Unable to play video in HTML5

问题

I just started learning HTML5, I started with normal text file and changed its extension to .html and added the below code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
 <html>
 <body>

  <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
    <source src="D:\Movies\Troy (2004).avi" type="video/avi" /> 
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>

 </body>
 </html>

I am using FireFox 4.0.

Firefox doesn't support the avi container format

回答2:

Firefox doesn't support the avi format. Only ogg and webm are supported as also stated in this topic.

Edit: Peter Paul Koch has an more detailed overview of supported codecs in the different browsers available nowadays. See the article here.

Convert your movie with Miro Video Converter or similar software

Miro - http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/

and you might want to make the player more compatible with multiple browsers.

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

example from http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_video.asp

It looks like you're missing a few things to make this work cross-browser, and as stated above, firefox doesn't play well with the AVI container format.

Read this: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/video.html Or you could check out a javascript solution like this that helps make things a bit easier: http://videojs.com/

Firefox and Chrome do not support avi format , but the strange thing is if you just drop a avi file into the browser it plays just fine ! . I wonder when these browser have the capability of playing these files why are they not put in the html5 tag :\
