Does your version of Firefox support the source files you have available?

It would help if I had the url so I could inspect the video files.
The barbie.OGV file is probably incompatible in some way. But without seeing it I couldn't really say. It's possible that if you remove the reference to the OGV file it might play in Firefox, depending on your OS. There are multiple issues you can run into. Frankly lately I've decided to host my files using JWPlayer's Bits on the Run compression and playback servers. It's free and eliminates a lot of problems. But let me see the URL and maybe I can help. |

Thank you so much for helping. I fixed that error and it works in firefox, off but not in IE. I have researched this and it seems to be a common problem but I haven't found a solution. Is there one?

IE9? I think it's pretty finicky about codecs.
Your mp4 file is Apple MPEG4 Compressor, maybe IE would feel better if it was vanilla profile h264 |

I'm sorry, could you tell me what you mean by profile h264?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_codecs#Video_codecs h264, Apple MPEG, Sorenson, etc., are all various codecs. MP4 is a container format that can contain various codecs. So you have an MP4 container that is holding a file that has the Apple MPEG video codec and probably a AAC audio codec. What would be best safest for web use is an MP4 containing H264 video and AAC audio. The file was probably created (maybe Final Cut, Permiere, Compressor) and exported using the Apple MPEG codec. If you can redo that and select H264 hat might solve the IE9 issue. Download this file. I've transcoded your file into H264/AAC. See if that works any better.

Ok, I uploaded the file to my file but where in the code do I add it? Do I add this line?
<source src="assets/._barbie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> |

I wouldn't put a dot at the beginning of the name, but yes whatever you called it in place of the line that was there originally.
original line <source src="assets/barbie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> replace with <source src="assets/nameOfNewFile.mp4" type="video/mp4"> |
