HTML5 Video element - doesn't work.

Hey everyone! I made a small HTML file as practice in DreamWeaver CC 2015. I added the following code:

<div>

<video controls>
  <source src="video/new_video.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
  <source src="video/to_ogg.ogg" type="video/ogg"/>
</video>

</div>

The path should be okay, I can't see any mistake and I tried it only with the video tag too but the result is a black window with a 'disabled' control. What did I do wrong? When I did the same in the workspace it worked :(

Check that you have the video files located in a subfolder named "video" just like the workspace does.
