html5 localhost,html - html5 video does not play from localhost - Stack Overflow

The mp4 video does not play from localhost.

But mp3 audio works.

i.e.

Following code for playing video (stored as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\video\testVideo.html) does not work when accessed through (http://localhost/video/testVideo.html)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

But, following code for playing audio (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\audio\testAudio.html) works when accessed through (http://localhost/audio/testAudio.html)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

However, they both work when webpage is launched by double clicking on html file i.e. webpage is accessed through (file:///C:/inetpub/wwwroot/audio/testAudio.html) or (file:///C:/inetpub/wwwroot/video/testVideo.html)

Please explain what am I doing wrong. And how to make video play from localhost.

I am using following browsers:

IE 11.0

Chrome 44.0

Firefox 40.0
