Okay, if you were having trouble seeing video, add the

How to be even more specific with
your video formats
Telling the browser the location of your source files gives it a selection of
different versions to choose from; however, the browser has to do some
detective work before it can truly determine if a file is playable. You can help
your browser even more by giving it more information about the MIME type
and (optionally) codecs of your video files:
T
he vid
eo cod
ec
The audi
o codec
<source src="video/tweetsip.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
This

Next, you'll update your
<source>
elements to include the type information for
all three types of video we have.
