Thanks ben your code works fine in my rails application.

but when i try to change to change the video file path to read from my
server, it fails again in ipad / iphone alone but works fine in mac
safari.

<video width="741" height="320" controls="controls"
preload="auto" poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png"
>
<source src="/videos/MovieClip.mp4"
type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
<source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.webm"
type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
<source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.ogv"
type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
<!-- Flash Fallback. Use any flash video player here. -->
