Opera and HTML5 video

On my website, I have videos in mp4 and ogv format.
mp4 is played in webkit browser.
ogv is played in Firefox, but in Opera No.

There is a simple HTML:

When I open a page, I see a video element with a poster, but when I click the play button, nothing happens. I don’t see the loading progress And everything is still as it is.
But Firefox plays very well.

In Opera’s network inspector, I see the HTTP header of the .ogv video file request:

GET /my_video.ogv HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6.7; U; ru) Presto/2.7 .62 Version/11.01

Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, /;q=0.1

The “acceptance” part confuses me. Why does it accept these content types of the video?

Any ideas?

For Opera, you actually only need to add these two mime types to Apache or you will use

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType audio/ogg .oga

Is this video right for you? Do you have a link to the video you want to play?

For Opera, you actually only need to add these two mime types to Apache or whatever server you will use.
