The control attribute is for adding play, pause, and volume controls.It is also always a good idea to include the width and height attributes. Insert content between the <video> and </video> tags for browsers that do not support the video element which uses an Ogg file, and will work in Firefox, Opera and Chrome. To make the video work in Safari, the video file must be of type MPEG4. The video element allows multiple source elements. Source elements can link to different video files. The browser will use the first recognized format.
<video width=”320″ height=”240″ controls=”controls”>
<source src=”movie.ogg” type=”video/ogg” />
<source src=”movie.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″ />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<video src=”http://thejollybutcher.com/wp-content/uploads/video/gmg.ogv” controls>

encode your videos to ogv/ogg format
Use Firefogg on your site
To use Firefogg on your site, you have to use the Firefogg Javascript api. There are two modes you can integrate Firefogg. one uploads data while the video is encoded. The other encodes the video and starts a regular multipart HTTP POST after that.
Example encoding and uploading at the same time
Example sending a multipart POST request once encoding is done
