Since you already playback MP4 video files, I think the problem is mostly likely caused by one of the following reasons:
1. It seems that some version of Firefox shows this error when playback MP4 video files. For details, see the following links:

2. The problem might be related to permissions issue with IIS or maybe IIS doesn't like the file extension (MIME type).

In general, to my knowledge HTML5 video tags support playing video files without any additional components. But this video tag (by default) supports playing MP4 and OGG format.
So if you have a different video format (like MKV, AVI, etc.), you need to convert it to MP4 or OGG before passing it to the HTML5 video tag.
I think you could convert these video files using a programming toolkit (leadtools). I googled video formats conversion and found the following link:

I hope this helps :)
