I can confirm in IE 11 on Windows 8 (without WebM or Xiph codecs installed). I don't see anything in the JavaScript console; simply nothing happens when clicking the play button in the player lightbox.

Im actually going to lower priority to normal. Comparatively speaking this isnt that big a deal since its only one file (or a limitted number anyway. Unclear how many, i expect it has something to do with the files dimensions). Other issues like videos not playing on mobile, videos not playing on some browsers we support are much bigger deals.

No longer a practical issue, since we are rolling ogv.js now to these browsers.
