Having problems veiwing h264 videos larger than 2 gb, they refuse to play, in either windows or mac verison of FF. less than 2 gb they play fine.
I work for a video company encoding videos, The only problem we have is Firefox not playing videos encoded as H 264 (1080) larger than 2 gb, as they won't play. I Tried both current version 9.0.1 in mac and windows and no change. In IE, Chrome, the video plays fine. Is there a file limitation in Firefox? as I read someplace else that FF also has problems uploading 2 gb files, don't know of that's related. Any help would be appreciated.
Chosen solution
Firefox doesn't even play H264 content by default. For HTML5 video it will play OGG / Theora and WebM, but a plugin is needed for H264 content.

ok, I'm corrected that HTML 5 support for h264 is not present in FF at the moment. SO if the Video hand-off to flash to play the video in Firefox would be the cause of the File size limitations, then it's Adobe's issue then, correct?
oh sorry thanks btw for the quick answer! :)
Sorry, Mozilla is never going to support H264 due to it not being free and/or open source.
Sorry, I have no idea about a 2GB limit, it there is one.
