html5 video not playing within Safari on Windows

I'm trying to play a HTML5 video in safari on my local server but currently it isn't working properly. Here's the issue:

I have the code:

 <video width="580" height="340" controls>
     <source src="media/video/test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
     <source src="media/video/test.m4v" type="video/mp4">
     <source src="media/video/test.ogv" type="video/ogv">
     <source src="media/video/test.ogg" type="video/ogg">
     Your browser does not support the video tag.
 </video>

It simply says 'Your browser does not support the video tag.' when I view it on my local server through Safari. I made sure to add the mp4 etc MIME types in IIS and restarted including the WWW service.

The video plays fine when I view it via direct path in Safari and it works playing it within Chrome from the HTML.

Any ideas? Cheers!

Update

I didn't have Quicktime installed on my machine. Once installed, the HTML5 video played.

The version of safari you are using probably doesnt support the new html5 video tag,

you could try using a different type of player (shockwave youtube etc) to extend your browser support
