I haven't done that particular challenge, but a quick look here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp suggests that you need to add type="video/mp4" (or whichever type of video you have there)

like this: 

        ```html
         <video width="320" height="240" controls>

                           <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">

        </video>
        ```

possible types are:

File Format Media Type

MP4 video/mp4

WebM video/webm

Ogg video/ogg
