I'm having trouble getting some MP4 videos to play on iPad. The following works on Chrome and IE9 (with the addition of a meta tag) but it won't work on my iPad.
I read some posts that suggested not all MP4 videos will play on an iPad, but I actually pulled these MP4 videos from an iOS app created in-house where they play fine. I'm working with quite a few videos so I don't want to convert them unless I really have to.
Does it make sense to think that if they can play within a native app that they can play with HTML5 in a browser?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

BTW, I'm using an iPad 2 and iOS6.
