Chrome No Longer Supports HTML5 Video?

I have a website I was working on for a uni project, and I embedded a video using the HTML5 video tag. The code looks like this:

<video width="400" controls="">
<source src="images/Nexus.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Something broke :/
</video>

And it was working fine at uni, but when I went home it no longer worked. I did a bit of research, and Chrome doesn't support mp4. Ok fine, so I found a site that allowed me to convert to the other supported types so now my code looks like this:

<video width="400" controls="">
<source src="images/Nexus.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="images/Nexus.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<source src="images/Nexus.webm" type="video/webm">
Something broke :/
</video>

And both the ogg and webm were working (I tested each one individually using comments). But at home it still didn't work. It comes up with the video widget thing and displays the correct length of video but the play button is disabled and there is no still image. But it still worked at uni. Until today. Now I have the same problem. Have Chrome stopped supporting the HTML5 video tag?

NOTE the ogg and webm still work on firefox, but not mp4

try to rearrange it so that

<video width="400" controls>
<source src="images/Nexus.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<source src="images/Nexus.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="images/Nexus.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Something broke :/
</video>

and remove the empty value for attribute controls
