An odd thing with firefox. This video will only play when it's seeked from ~6 seconds onwards

html link here too http://wealthplanning.tv/media/videos/test.html
Works fine in Chrome, and even opera when inside the video tags.
Anyone have any ideas?
Seems that it was an encoding issue. Was using Miro originally, but tried it with XMedia Recode instead and that solved it.

I converted a video to webm through Any Video Converter and it plays fine in Firefox. However, in Chrome it constantly resizes itself during playback and I'm not sure why.
I previously used Miro converter, but that video wouldn't play in Firefox at all for some reason. It would jump instantly to the end of the video when I pressed play. When using my custom settings, it did the weird resizing thing in Chrome, but when I exported it again using the default settings, it played normally in Chrome, but still nothing in Firefox, so I switched to using Any Video Converter and now the resizing issue is back. I didn't change anything in the settings.

I'm using the latest versions of both Firefox and Chrome by the way.
I never quite figured out what was causing the rapid size change during playback, but this link recommended some converters I haven't tried yet. http://www.my-html-codes.com/html5-video-converters
I used Free WebM Encoder http://webmsoft.com/free-webm-encoder.html and everything works fine now on all browsers. So, if anyone else has seen this weird issue, use this converter I guess.
It would still be nice to know what caused everything in the first place, just in case it happens again, but at least everything is fine now! By the way, I've taken down the videoTest link I provided in the original question since I don't need it anymore.
I'm using hmtl5 video. It works normally in all browsers, except IE9.
In IE9 it's cannot playing after first play, or video freezes after a few seconds, but video state is "playing". I've add eventlisteners to check it.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
I would suggest using a flash player fallback for Internet Explorer 9 and other browsers with issues with HTML5 video.
I think IE9 has some issues regarding HTML5 Video. You shouldn't trust on that to work. Maybe a (flash) fallback for IE9 would be good. Most of those bugs are fixed in IE10. So HTML5 Video should work there (if you use the right video encodings).

I had a solution to show both .MP4 and .WMV embedded in the browser. It worked fine in both IE and Chrome, but for some time ago it stopped working in Chrome. Chrome will not show any files (mp4 or wmv), but it works fine in IE. I googled it, and found several reasons to why Chromes newer version couldn't deal with this, but no solution to my problem.
The solution that worked was <object><embed>, but this only works in IE now. Then I tried to add the <video> tag and got it to work with mp4 in Chrome, but not with wmv.
So, is it anyone that have a solution to embed a wmv file that will run without problems in Chrome?
The requirements is that it should be able to play both MP4 and WMV files in Chrome and IE.
The long and short of it is that there is no solution. The <video> tag is supported by almost all browsers now, but there are different levels of support for different formats:
MP4 - Good support (noone uses Opera anyway). Works with both the browsers you mentioned.
WebM - Patchy support, definitely none on IE for the time being
WMV - I can't even find anyone giving a hard answer on this one, but I think the general concensus is that <video> is the way to go, and that to use one of the two above formats is the way to go. MP4 seems the better choice for the time being. If there are requirements to say that you must achieve the impossible/pointless, I'd suggest that your requirements-setters familiarise themselves with ffmpeg :)
I'm having some trouble with HTML5 video in IE9.
Video (MP4) is playing, but it looks like there's an encoding error as it now and then jumps and display white squares, almost like oversized pixels, in parts of the image.
I don't have this problem on my machine, in my IE, but co-workers seem to have this problem. And we have the same version of IE installed.
I tried adding codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2" to the code, but it did not solve the problem.
Anyone got an idea on what this might be?
This seems to be an issue in the conversion process. I tried converting the files, same settings, but in a different converter, and this seemed to solve the problem. So if you have choppy, wierd video in IE, try converting it again. :)
I am facing a rather strange issue with Firefox. This is the webm file that I am trying to play:

This plays fine in Firefox but problem comes when I try to jump to a particular second using slider. It just stops playing the song. What can be the issue? I didn't face this problem in Chrome.
Any help would be appreciated.
