IE/FF cannot find video to play HTML5 when on the webserver.- Chrome plays fine

I'm pretty sure this is a path issue but it's killing me, i cannot figure out the correct path to find the video. When I run this on my local machine it works just fine. When I run this server side in Chrome it works just fine. FF and IE however come back with "Cannot find this video".

Thanks!

This is the quintessential example of what happens when you walk away for a day and come back.

What was happening is I was browsing the HTML file through windows explorer instead of using IE/FF to go to IP/Port/index.HTML of the actual HTML.

Interestingly chrome know to look on the local server for the file.
