Your source tag should be self-closing (in other words, you will use only one tag for source to handle both opening and closing... check out the slash at the end of the source tag in my example), and you'll want to add the src attribute and URL value inside of that source tag.

Code example:

<video><source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" /></video>

Hope this helps!
