Your mp4 file is returning a 404 / file not found error. Either 1) the file is not located at that address or 2) your IIS webserver does not have the proper MIME type listed for mp4 files.

If you know the file exists at that location, check out this Microsoft Article about IIS configuration:

When you request a file from an IIS 6.0 Web server, and the file has a
file name extension that is not a defined MIME type on the Web server,
you receive the following error message: HTTP Error 404 – File or
directory not found.

You are using IIS 7.5, but the concept is the same. IS the MIME type set up correctly on your server?
