Access error opening a video through absolute url on IIS

I need a absolute url for my video player that i am using. When i try to access the video it gives me following error while url is 'http://mywebsite.com/w/videos/vid.mp4'

404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I have tried it by shortening the url 'http://mywebsite.com/w/videos/'

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Same way when i try to access a image it opens up. no access error here http://mywebsite.com/w/img/logo.png

I am a front end developer - i have created html pages with javascript/jquery. The server on which i am placing the files have Asp.net hosting (other website on the server is in asp.net). I have tried many helps but all are vain. I will be grateful if someone help me out. If i am not clear do let me please.

Thanks

Go to your hosting--->>virtual directory---->>MIME Type -->>

add your video extension after adding your access video.

I have just added the extension .mp4 in MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) in IIS. By defualt this extension was missnig. Just by adding extension fixed the issue for me.
