Cannot get my video background playing

Hi there I am having difficulty getting a video background to play in a couple of browsers Firefox - and Chrome (not sure what version of Chrome) http://www.awprecision.co.uk/index-video-2.php This is the page in question I have converted the video and you can see my code here

<video autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" autobuffer="autobuffer" muted="muted"     width="640" height="360">
<source src="video/final-2.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="video/final-2.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="video/final-2.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
</video>

Try re-encoding your video. I swapped out the URLs in your markup and it worked fine in Firefox.
