Works in Opera and Chrome. We don't play it because it's being served with an invalid MIME type: % curl -I http://erunways.com/html5/WebM_VP8_video/html5_Video_VP8.webm [...] Content-Type: text/plain There has been discussion about sniffing the format of videos when the content type is application/octet-stream (or there's no content type specified at all), but I don't think there's any talk of sniffing when it's text/plain.

It should be documented somewhere that you need add the MIME type video/webm to .htaccess.
