HTML Video Tag in Internet explorer

Does HTML video tag works in IE browser. I have a little demo here. Its working in Firefox. I need to make it work in Internet Explorer as well.

<div class="content flowplayer is-splash is-closeable" id="vid1">
    <video id="mainVideo" src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.webm" tabindex="0">    
    <source type="video/mp4" src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.mp4"></source>
    <source type="video/webm" src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.webm"></source>
</video>    
</div>

Do you have any suggestion ?

Webm should play in Iexplorer 9 and higher. It won't work in older Iexplorer versions, unless you use Google Chrome Frame (or anything simular). Another option is to use Flash as a fallback option.

If that's not the issue, some servers need an .htaccess file to play video's online. The htaccess file should contain:

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm

If that's not the issue, check if the Webm is alright. You could use Miro Video Converter It's free fast and good.

you could potentially look at http://www.flowplayer.org as an alternative, native support, but then falls back based on browser and version

You need Google Chrome Frame to work in IE 6,7,8

For IE9 you need WebM support
