Internet Explorer HTML5 video starts only after some time

I'm facing the problem that a video does not start to play, which I added to an HTML5 page:

<video id="videobcg" preload="auto" autoplay="true" loop="loop"
       muted="muted" volume="0" poster="http://test.com/poster.jpg">
     <source src="http://test.com/texas.mp4" type="video/mp4">
     <source src="http://test.com/texas.webm" type="video/webm">
     <img src="http://test.com/texas.jpg" />
</video>

How to fix it?

Sometimes, with MP4 files, the information regarding the length etc. of the file is at the end rather than the start of the file, so some browsers need to download the entire thing to get this information in order to play the file.

Try running QTIndexSwapper 2 on the file which will move the required information to the start of the file, if it needs to be.

It's worth a try.
