User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 Build ID: 20170518000419 Steps to reproduce: Recorded a video in Chrome (getUserMedia - video/webm) uploaded video to amazon s3 storage. Load the video using firefox using the direct url to the video/webm file. See: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/boldvue-video-dev/VideoBlob/6ECCgXnZYC9cujaat/6c6caa44f60f56ce027b0ae3.webm Actual results: I get an error: 1. from the logs: Media resource https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/boldvue-video-dev/VideoBlob/6ECCgXnZYC9cujaat/6c6caa44f60f56ce027b0ae3.webm could not be decoded. 2. In the browser I see the following: No Video with supported format and MIME type found. or Video format or MIME type is not supported. Expected results: I would expect it to play the the video/webm file generated by chrome. Load the same url in chrome and it plays: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/boldvue-video-dev/VideoBlob/6ECCgXnZYC9cujaat/6c6caa44f60f56ce027b0ae3.webm This is causing major issues with cross browser functionality. I can only support chrome or firefox but not both, chrome users who upload videos won't be accessible by firefox users. Though firefox recordings are loadable in chrome.

Can you tell why the video recorded on Chrome does not work on firefox?

This isn't a valid webm, it has a h264 track. Per spec, webm is to contain only opus, vorbis, vp8, vp9 (and now av1) http://www.webmproject.org/docs/container/

bug should be opened with chrome that they generate invalid files.
Okay thank you for the information.

Replace

mimeType: 'video/webm',
to
mimeType: 'video/webm;codecs=vp9',

Chrome Save webm video data with codecs=h264

firefox webm is to contain only opus, vorbis, vp8, vp9
