Should be:- <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" src="file:///home/ethan/Gingy/Converted_Files/DSCF0142.mov" type="video/mov" > You'll probably get a mime type unknown error - with Iceweasel just tick the "always use this application" (or similar) and select /usr/bin/vlc as the handler in the pop-up dialog Pick another handler if you prefer, mplayer should play Quicktime. You're also missing a codecs parameter from the video tag - but doesn't matter for local use. You'll need to modify your .htaccess if you want to publish the tag. <snipped> > > If I try to play from the terminal - /usr/bin/mplayer > /home/ethan/Gingy/Converted_Files/DSCF0142.mov > > I receive the following errors: > > [VD_FFMPEG] Trying pixfmt=0. > Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale... > Opening video filter: [scale] > The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec. > Try appending the scale filter to your filter list, > e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp. > > Help and advice, please. Mplayer may need some tuning - it appears you have the incorrect video output module. Try vlc - it 'should' work out of the box (*not* the one from debian-multimedia).
