In the code below:
<video id="video" poster="images/poster.jpg" width="400" height="300" controls >
<source src="movies/clip.mov" type="video/quicktime">
<source src="movies/clip.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="movies/clip.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movies/clip.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Get the MP4 version of the video.
</video>
What if the browser supports more than one of the formats I have provided? Like both webm and mp4, which one will be chosen?
They run in the order of the source elements.

The <source> element allows you to specify alternative video files which the browser may choose from. The browser will use the first recognized format.

Im trying to the implement a video into my HTML code for a school assignment but, the area where the video should be comes up with a player but the video never loads.
The video is inside the same file as the pages so I don't knwo why it won't load.
As mentioned by Nikhil, you should first check if the path is correct.
Secondly, you should check if the video format is supported. Currently, MP4, WebM and Ogg are supported only.(Though this should not be the case as you are using MP4 format with correct MIME type)
If you are using the supported video then check if you have used the right MIME type.
For fallback, you can try this syntax:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Any text between the <video> and </video> tags will be displayed in browsers that do not support the <video> element.
For more info on this, you can refer to w3school.
Have you checked the path of the video properly?
The syntax is right, I guess you are giving the wrong path to the src attribute.
Or you can try this also (If the path is right):
<video width="400" controls autoplay>
<source src="uniform_shop.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="films/myfilm/video/1080p.mkv" type="video/webm">
<source src="films/myfilm/audio/en.mka" type="audio/mpeg">
</video>
I serach google and i don't find answer.
You can not directly play them using the video-tag. Your best option is to convert the files into a compatible format, see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats
Otherwise, you have to use a plug-in like DivX to stream the formats to your browser:

I want to play .mov video like as this, but video doesn't play in any browser.
<video width="400" controls Autoplay=autoplay>
<source src="D:/mov1.mov" type="video/mov">
</video>
You can use below code:
<video width="400" controls autoplay>
<source src="D:/mov1.mov" type="video/mp4">
</video>
this code will help you.
Instead of using <source> tag, use <src> attribute of <video> as below and you will see the action.
<video width="320" height="240" src="mov1.mov"></video>
or
you can give multiple tags within the tag, each with a different video source. The browser will automatically go through the list and pick the first one it’s able to play. For example:
<video id="sampleMovie" width="640" height="360" preload controls>
<source src="HTML5Sample_H264.mov" />
<source src="HTML5Sample_Ogg.ogv" />
<source src="HTML5Sample_WebM.webm" />
</video>
If you test that code in Chrome, you’ll get the H.264 video. Run it in Firefox, though, and you’ll see the Ogg video in the same place.
Unfortunately .mov files are not supported with html5 video playback. You can see what filetypes are supported here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats
If you need to be able to play these formats with your html5 video player, you'll need to first convert your videofile--perhaps with something like this:

Content Type for MOV videos are video/quicktime in my case. Adding type="video/mp4" to MOV video file solved issue in my case.
<video width="400" controls Autoplay=autoplay>
<source src="D:/mov1.mov" type="video/mp4">
</video>
in the video source change the type to "video/quicktime"
<video width="400" controls Autoplay=autoplay>
<source src="D:/mov1.mov" type="video/quicktime">
</video>
You can use Controls attribute
<video id="sampleMovie" src="HTML5Sample.mov" controls></video>
My new answer is to use ffmpeg to transcode the .mov like ffmpeg -i sourceFile.mov destinationFile.mp4. Do same for the webm format.
OLD Answer:
Here's what you do:
Upload your video to Youtube.
Install the "Complete YouTube Saver" plugin for Firefox
Using the plugin in Firefox, download both the MP4 and WEBM formats and place them on your Web server
Add the HTML5 Video element to your webpage per MDN's recommendation
<video controls>
<source src="somevideo.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="somevideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
I'm sorry; your browser doesn't support HTML5 video in WebM with VP8/VP9 or MP4 with H.264.
<!-- You can embed a Flash player here, to play your mp4 video in older browsers -->
</video>
Style the <video> element with CSS to suit your needs. For example Materializecss has a simple helper class to render the video nicely across device types.
Here is my code:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
But when I load up the page I get "Aborted" in the video player. If I do this:
<video width="400" controls>
<source src="d:/lscweb/Presentations/2015-04-07 Ampersand.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
I get "Invalid source". I assume it's trying to look up the mov_bbb.ogg file which doesn't exist. But I want it to play the first one. It's mp4. Why won't it play?
You can't use link references to absolute windows os paths.
I suggest you move the video to the same folder as your html document and just do src="video.mp4" to avoid needing to use complex relative paths.
I have the different video files in the HTML <video> tag like so :
<video autoplay="" id="video" preload="auto" style="display: inline-block;">
<source src="../register.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="../register.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="../register.ogv" type="video/ogg">
</video>
But for some reason, in chrome it doesn't work. It only works if I get rid of the MP4 source, but then it doesn't work in IE... not sure what's going on here or the best way to approach this.
I have already gotten passed the step of creating video files for all browsers as suggested in this question, but it has not solved my issue.
The order in which you list the sources matters. In Chrome, once the .MP4 video fails to load, the other sources don't even bother trying to load, so just by putting the .MP4 source as the last source element it fixed everything.
<video autoplay="" id="video" preload="auto" style="display: inline-block;">
<source src="../register.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="../register.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<source src="../register.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
