Any ideas why?

    I’d suggest you change your doc type to <!DOCTYPE html> and use an HTML5 player.

    <video width="280" height="256"controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
  <source src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/GM-Oh.avi" type="video/avi" />
  Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Upgrade to <a href="http://abetterbrowser.org/">a better browser</a>.
</video>

    You might need to convert the video file to OGG, WebM or MP4 though, as I’m not sure whether AVI will play.

    More information on HTML5 video: http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_video.asp
