Video tag is supported in the newer versions of the usual browsers
(Firerox, Chrome, Opera...). It works well here (Firefox 13) :-)
But if you prefer to stick to the older (x)html 4 spec just adjust your
code and forget about html5. It's that simple.
Again, you have to return to school :-)

Remember that not all the tags allow the video advanced options (control
buttons, auto-load, loop...).

My Firefox uses a Totem plugin for media files by means of "libtotem-
basic-plugin.so". You can have whatever plugin you prefer but of course,
you have to have the right packages installed. Anyway, I doubt your
problem is generated by your plugin...
Review your "about:plugins".
