can't play ogv video on this site
I am using firefox 8 on mac, and can't play ogv videos on this site: http://www.chronosnet.com/Products/f10launchstudio/videos.html
I have tried in safemode with the same result. I right click on the video, there's video control like (play/mute/hide control/full scren) but they're blurred out.

That OGV file is send with this content-type:
Content-Type: binary/octet-stream
Firefox won't play OGV and OGG files embedded unless they are send with a supported MIME type.

Amazon S3 records the MIME type that your S3 client sends with each file upload.
This means that you must configure your system with the appropriate “video/ogg” MIME type when you upload.

Does it work if you select View Video in the right-click context menu ?
You can also try to save the video (about 44 MB) and play it locally.

I can download it and watch it locally, but it's not the problem. The problem is that firefox can't play this type of video, while other browsers can. Thank for your reply anyway :p
