3G iPod Touch Won't Play HTML5 Videos

Hi everyone,

I am wondering why my 3G iPod Touch will not play HTML5 videos that the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G will play with no problem. The site that I am using to do the comparison is a video posted on the homepage of www.oculusstudios.com I have also made sure that my 3G iPod Touch is updated to the latest version 4.3, but it still won't play the video. Can anyone tell me what I am dealing with here? Thanks!
