Video For All Browsers, Not Working In A Single One

[Grandioso]

I'm trying to put up a video on a website in both HTML5 and flash format.

I copied at least 3 different code snippets, which were supposed to work on all browsers, but the video does not play in a single browser, lol.

Chrome, Opera, FF, and IE9 seem to recognize the video tag, but can't play the video for some reason. I only see the initial image, if anything from the video and it shows the length correctly (yes, the src is correct).

IE8 does not show the flash video at all.

Here's the latest code I use now

<video controls="" width="515" height="230">[/font][/color]
<source src="...intro.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="...intro.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<object width="515" height="230">
<param name="movie" value="...intro.flv">
<embed src="...intro.flv" width="515" height="230">
</embed>
</object>
</video>

 

Is there some special type of encoding, or whatever that the browser doesn't support ? I don't understand this...

Unfortunately I can't post a link to the website as it's our company's site and is under construction.

 

 

---edit

 

Allright, I found out that it's not the video, but the controls that don't work.

If I put in the autoplay att, it works fine. But it's a bit non-user friendly. I don't want the video to play automatically. Is there any way around this ?
