html5 video plays on Firefox, Chome, IE10 but not on Opera or Safari

The following play the video on Firefox, Chrome and IE10, IE9 but not on Opera or Safari (and not IE8 but that is not really a problem) on Windows 8. The files are hosted on IIS. The mimetype set for mp4 is: video/mp4.

How do I get Opera and Safari play this?

    <video id='movie' controls autoplay ><!--video ist html5-->

    <source src='heiraten.mp4' /><!-- Quelle mp4-->
    <!-- 
    alle nicht HTML5 fähige Browser (IE8) machen hier weiter,
    mit flash, heiraten.swf ladet .f4v film
    und SkinOverPlayStopSeekMutVol.swf als controls
    -->

    <object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="640" height="360">
        <param name="movie" value="heiraten.swf" />
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="heiraten.swf" width="640" height="360">
        <!--<![endif]-->
        <div>
            <h1>Alternative content</h1>
            <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
        </div>
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        </object>
        <!--<![endif]-->
    </object>

</video>

You don't need Flash/swf. Try it with the html5 Video Tag and use mp4 and ogg.

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm" />
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Thanks to "jop" for the note *.webm I guess with this 3 formats the most Browsers will play your movie.
