Slow-loading videos

I am a newbie at posting home-made videos on web sites, and here's my problem:

If I post a home-made video on my web site as an mp4 file, it won't play, but it does appear to be trying to download onto the users' PC.

Here is the code I use:

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
  <source src="JohnMonroe_Trombone.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
  </video>

The mp4 file is 2.5MB in size.

On the other hand, the videos on YouTube load very quickly. Is it because they are Flash videos?

I don't think the problem is my internet connection, because web pages, javascruit, etc., all load very quickly.

Thanks, in advance,

Roy
