html5 mp4 video player

I am trying to play mp4 video using html5 video tag. But in FF 3.6 its just showing a black window with cross sign. Its playing in Chrome.

I can play that video in windows media player (i.e. the required codec are installed)

How can i play that video in FF too?

<video id="video1" width="200" height="200" controls="true">
        <source src="video1.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64001E, mp4a.40.2"' />
        Your browser does not support mp4 videos
    </video>

For Firefox, you'll have to encode the video as Theora and save as an .ogv file.

firefox does not support most MPEG4 natively due to licencing. you can save your video in a few different types and use canPlayType(type) method.
