I am integrating a video on a website. The video format for firefox is .ogv. I have set all MIME-types correctly, the video starts, but the picture does not get rendered - only the sound plays.

But when you right-click and select "show video", everything works fine in the new window. I have been working for days on this now. Does anyone have a clue what is going wrong? This is the code I am using: 

<video width="640" height="288" autoplay controls poster="media/poster.jpg" >
  <source src="/media/SensoGlove.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="/media/SensoGlove.ogv"  type="video/ogg"/>
</video>

The website is www.SensoGlove.com

Thanks in advance!

The OGV plays for me and loads if I remove the MP4 code with the Inspector.

It is the MP4 that isn't working and that takes prevalence. I see an error message in the Web Console ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Web Developer). Media resource http://sensoglove.com/media/SensoGlove.mp4 could not be decoded. It looks that this MP4 file isn't compatible with Firefox.
