Video attribute won't play in Firefox - Just fine in Chrome

Permalink
Okay. I'm losing my mind. I'm trying to display a video using a custom attribute and I'm getting nothing in Firefox, but the video plays in Chrome. I will admit that my experience with video as a Web Dev is very very very limited. I'm using VLC Player to convert the video based on a YouTube video. I've added the "AddType" line to the htaccess. Still nothing out of Firefox. I was hoping more HTML5 dev could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here is the code I've got:

<video controls>
   <source src="<?php echo $c->getAttribute('sample_clip')->getVersion()->getRelativePath(); ?>" type="video/mp4" />
            <p>Your browser does not support H.264/MP4.</p>
</video>


If someone knows how to access the video player block, I'm game for it too. I just don't know how. *sighs* HELP!!

You should provide e.g. a webm alternative for the video. Firefox does not support mp4.

Wow. That was seriously all!!! I read a couple of different documents that said that you could do a MP4 for later versions of Firefox. They were wrong!

THANKS!
