Hello Michael,

here is a code I used to insert a mp4 video from an image:

<td><a href="yourPath/yourMp4File.mp4"><img src="images/hawaii_island.jpg" alt="Description ..." width="yourWidth" height="yourHeight" border="0" /></a></td>

Good luck!

It's possible that your server isn't sending the correct MIME type for the video. Although you have the type attribute in the <source> elements, browsers rely on the MIME type sent in the server headers.

If your web server runs on Apache, and if you are allowed to configure it using an .htaccess file, add the following commands to the .htaccess file in your server root:

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:ogv|ogg|oga|m4v|mp4|m4a|mp3|wav|webma?|webmv)$ no-gzip dont-vary AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/mp4 .m4v .mp4 AddType video/webm .webm .webmv AddType audio/mpeg .mp3 AddType audio/mp4 .m4a AddType audio/ogg .ogg .oga AddType audio/webm .webma AddType audio/wav .wav

Afters hours of getting no where It turns out that this is a common error scene in IE Explorer's Security configuration...The resulting error message in addition to the provided graphics image INVALID SOURCE message is the message at the base of the screen upon launch which reads...

INTERNET EXPLORER RESTRICTED THIS WEBPAGE FROM RUNNING SCRIPTS OR ACTIVE X CONTROLS...

My improper work around is going into IE - tab ADVANCED - SECURITY then check ALLOW ACTIVE CONTENT TO RUN IN FILES ON MY COMPUTER
this is not a very safe work around but its all I got for now...any suggestions would be appreciated,
Thanks
Mike

This is probably only happening when you preview files locally. Chances are it won't be an issue when you publish your site on the web.
