As you can read here
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp[^]
the video tag attribute "src" specifies the URL of the video file.

"C:\chella\ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.mpg" is not a URL, it is a file path.

Change your HTML to this:

HTML

<video width="320" height="240" controls="">
 <source src="ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.mpg" type="video/mpg">
 <source src="ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Moreover you must copy your video files to the same folder as your HTML file.
If you put them in e.g. a subfolder you must adapt the URLs.

Solution 1

Sometimes file names with white spaces causes issue.
Try removing the spaces in filename i.e, try renaming files like

ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.mpg
ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.ogg

and then modify the source accordingly

HTML

<video width="320" height="240" controls="">
 <source src="C:\chella\ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.mpg" type="video/mpg">
 <source src="C:\chella\ChellaSoftwarewithvoiceover.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</source></source></video>

Hope, it helps :)
