Whithout JavaScript, the only way I could play without errors:
<!--[if lte IE 9]>
<!-- PUT HERE A FLASH PLAYER WITH video.flv -->
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 9]><!-->
<video controls class="video">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<!-- REPEAT FLASH PLAYER CODE HERE -->
</video>
<!--<![endif]-->
