title: How to Embed Video using HTML5 with local file
body: <p>I'm trying to embed a video using html5 with a local mp4 file.</p>
  
  <p>file on my local machine.</p>
  
  <p>when i debug i keep getting invalid file path or unsupported video type.</p>
  
  <p>What am i missing? I can get this to work if i plug in a http link to a mp4. But when i plug in a local file it doesn't</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.1/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
      &lt;script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.1/video.js"&gt;
          videojs("example_video_1", {}, function(){
          });
      &lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;video id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" width="640" height="264"&gt;
          &lt;source src="file:///C:/Users/rpimentel/Desktop/converts/demo1.mp4" type='video/mp4' /&gt;
      &lt;/video&gt;
