AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
The first line is for videos in an Ogg container.
The second line is for videos in an MPEG-4 container.
The third is for WebM.
Set these once and forget it. If you forget to set it, your videos will fail to play in some browsers as the web server will treat these as a binary file .

Kevin,
I finally revisited the IE video play problem with GoDaddy. This time I had a tech who shared with me info I needed verses stating no. I now have a .htaccess file for the complete directory which contains the following
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/quicktime .qt .mov .m4v
AddType application/x-shockwave-flash swf
However going to the site http://www.scgconnect.com/biz/Infomercial/page6/ on a pc using IE still fails to play.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Carl
