I encoded a video twice both in h264 using handbrake. one is 360p the other 720p. Both work fine in flash mode (ff and ie8) but not in html5 in ie9. (does seem to work on ios!).
The video can be seen here www.babybeth.net
I have looked in the documentation and it says the most common cause of this error is encoding in something other than h264 but I have done!!
please help!
Your video’s mime type is:
application/octet-stream
But it should be:
video/mp4
I see and how can I change this?
This is a setting of your web server, I recommend that you refer to your web server documentation on how to set MIME types.
I have changed my server and I believe I have changed the mime type can you check again at www.vids.chezfranklin.net

It's still not working by the way!!
Now your mp4 file has an issue.
Run this tool on the file – http://renaun.com/blog/2010/06/qtindexswapper-2/
Thanks that works but is there anything that can be done at the point of compression so I do not have to run this program on each video?
I’m afraid your videos were encoded in a way that this tool is needed…
Sorry what I means is, is there a way to encode that does not require the tool?
Yes if you encode using HandBrake – http://handbrake.fr/ and enable “web optimized”, then the tool is not needed.
Thanks I'll give that a go. You have been very helpful!
Np!
Hi,
I am still having trouble with JWPlayer and IE9. I have tried everything mentioned in the threads, and the video still does not play. It plays okay in every other browser and earlier versions of IE. Here is the source code of the page I am trying to play it on...Please advise...
<div id='my-video'></div>
<p><script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('my-video').setup({
flashplayer: "/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf",
file: '/videos/HTBW-KnifeSkillsHB.mp4',
width: '640',
height: '380'
});
</script>
Hi Rich,
What did you do to your sample videos from the two URL examples provided? Was it the mime type on the server? I used your videos as a test embed on my site and your second one worked (www.vids.chezfranklin.net). The one from Baby Beth.net did not...
Please advise and you will be my hero!
