Yes, you can use it in your own browser when offline … as long as the video is on your computer. But your site visitors won’t be able to do that if they are offline.

On this page:

Video.js - Make your player yours

there are tips for downloading your own copy.

The problem with HTML5 video is that there’s no one format that all browsers support—so you have to serve up the video in several different formats (#fail). I believe Firefox doesn’t support mp4, so you’ll need to convert the video to webm or ogg. Miro is helpful for that. See this article:

Or try your page in IE9, Safari or Chrome to test it.

The Miro converter is excellent, and very easy to use, so I do recommend it. Let us know how you go.

That’s odd. The link works fine for me. Maybe just Google it and see if you can find a better link.
