I am playing around with HTML5 video and have the following snippet in an ERB:

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and found the solution here: http://9elements.com/io/?p=306

I'm running rails 2.3.5, so I put the following code in config/initializers/mime_types.rb and then reset my server (I'm using WEBrick for local development)

Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES.merge!({
  ".ogg"     => "application/ogg",
  ".ogx"     => "application/ogg",
  ".ogv"     => "video/ogg",
  ".oga"     => "audio/ogg",
  ".mp4"     => "video/mp4",
  ".m4v"     => "video/mp4",
  ".mp3"     => "audio/mpeg",
  ".m4a"     => "audio/mpeg"
})

And now curl is showing the correct mime types for ogv files.
